Robben Island

Robben Island is a small island off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, known for its historical significance as a prison during the apartheid era. It housed political prisoners, including Nelson Mandela, who spent 18 years there. The island symbolizes the struggle against apartheid and the fight for human rights. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a museum, attracting visitors who wish to learn about its history and the broader context of South Africa's journey toward democracy. Robben Island serves as a poignant reminder of resilience and the importance of justice and freedom.
