📍Aapravasi Ghat, Mauritius.
Did you know that Aapravasi Ghat is a World Heritage Site?
Aapravasi Ghat is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (inscribed in 2006) because it was the main immigration depot where nearly half a million indentured laborers from India first arrived in Mauritius between 1834 and the early 1900s. It is an important symbol of the global indentured labor system that replaced slavery after its abolition. The site is recognized for its historical significance in shaping Mauritius's multicultural society and for its role in a major chapter of world migration history.
