40% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: Milot

The Sans-Souci Palace is located in the commune of Milot, in the north of Haiti, at the foot of the Citadelle La Ferrière mountains. Built between 1810 and 1813 during the reign of Henri Christophe, this majestic palace served as the royal residence and seat of government of the Northern Kingdom. Its impressive structure included lush gardens, ponds, and an ingenious water pipe system to cool the rooms during the summer heat. Often compared to the Palace of Versailles by foreign visitors of the time, Sans-Souci represented the splendor, modernity and sovereignty of the post-independence Haitian state. It was the beating heart of court life where nobles, officers and ambassadors gathered for sumptuous celebrations. Now listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the site remains a major historical and architectural symbol of the heroic and cultural history of Haiti.
