Robben Island World Heritage Site

Robben Island has a rich history, and is most famous for being the prison home of South Africa’s first democratically elected president, Nelson Mandela, for 18 years. This popular tourist destination, which lies 11 km from Cape Town, is an important breeding site for many bird species.
