This UNESCO World Heritage Site marks where the first indentured labourers arrived from India in 1834.

Its stone steps and remaining buildings tell the story of a system that shaped modern Mauritius.

An on-site museum details the journeys and lives of the labourers who passed through.

It stands as one of the island’s most historically significant landmarks.
