12 Explore the Ruins of Sans-Souci
Built in the French Baroque style following the revolution, Sans-Souci was once known as the Versailles of Haiti and the Caribbean. Tragedy marred the castle with the suicide of King Henri, and an earthquake in 1842 irreparably damaged the building. Crumbling walls and fallen roofs have left the building open to the elements. Bring a guide if you wish to visit; the surrounding area is vulnerable to instability.
