One of the most mysterious buildings in the Western hemisphere King Henri Christophe's lavish neoclassical palace in the rain forest enthrones the small Haitian town of Milot. Begun less than a decade after the Haitian Revolution for independence (1804) by the first black African king in the Americas this massive monument was built to showcase Haiti's power and self-confidence. Despite its status as UNESCO World Heritage and a tourist attraction the unusual building has never before been the subject of a study. On the basis of unpublished archival sources and exact photographic documentation this book is the first to publish detailed information about the genesis this extraordinary architecture and the story of its builder.
