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 On the basis of unpublished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.
