Slave Route Monument

A monument dedicated to the memory of the slaves who were brought to the island during the colonisation era. This monument is a symbol of the struggle for freedom and justice. It is located at an important historical site on the peninsula of Le Morne, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Le Morne was a refuge for runaway slaves who found shelter there from persecution.

The monument commemorates the important role the region played in the history of slavery on the island and serves as a reminder of those difficult times. Each year, events are held at the memorial to commemorate the struggle against slavery and to honour the memory of those who suffered.
