In ruins now, the Palace Sans-Souci is a clear trace of the proud Henri Christophe, who modelled the palace after the namesake in Potsdam, Germany.
While on the bus from Cap Haïtien, we wondered where we should get off, but as soon as the bus came to a halt on a cobble stone square, we knew we had arrived. Above us, we saw the ruins of Palace Sans-Souci. We came past the palace on our way up to the Citadelle La Ferrière, but on the way down, we took time to visit the ruins properly. Coming down from the hill, we appreciated the widely spread buildings, and could better imagine the vast buildings that must have stood here before the earthquake of 1842 destroyed most of the palace. Pieces of the palace has been taken away to be used elsewhere for construction, and people living in Milot just walk across the palace to wherever they are heading. Once the palace of an autocratic monarch, it has now really become a palace of the people.
