Robben Island, located off the coast of Cape Town, South Africa, is a historic island known for its role as a political prison during apartheid. Nelson Mandela spent 18 years of his 27-year imprisonment there before becoming South Africa's first black president. The island is now a popular tourist destination, offering tours of the former prison and other historical sites. With its rich history and stunning views, Robben Island is a must-visit spot for anyone interested in South Africa's past struggles and triumphs.
