The town is famous primarily for its sad history, as it was the preferred landing point for slave ships that brought slaves from Africa before selling them to local traders. The prison, although dilapidated, still has its main rooms, as well as bars on the walls. The spectacular aspect comes from the large Cursed Fig Tree, whose branches and enormous roots seem to have imprisoned all the walls and the interior, passing through the partitions as if nature wanted to eradicate this building.
