Description

These ruins of a former slave prison are located on the island of Grande Terre in Guadeloupe, not far from the famous Slave Steps at Petit-Canal and dates back to the 19th century.

There is a particularly strange atmosphere in this abandoned place, where some dilapidated walls and the bars of the dungeons still stand. An atmosphere enhanced by the central presence of a sprawling and majestic fig tree cursed, whose root lattice has enclosed almost entirely the stones of the building.

The huge tree is a remarkable ficus citrifolia from the family of strangler fig trees, an arboreal species with multiple trunks, well known and feared in the Caribbean for the destructive power of its ramifications.

West Indian myths and legends mention this sacred tree, it would house spirits and would be especially conducive to the rituals of black magic or voodoo.

The remaining walls were declared a protected monument in 1991.
