About 300,000 people call Cap-Haïtien home, giving this northern Haitian commune a lively presence on the country’s coast. Once celebrated as the “Paris of the Antilles,” it was known for wealth, refined architecture, and a flourishing artistic scene. Founded in 1711, the city served as the capital of French Saint-Domingue before later becoming the capital of the Kingdom of Haiti under Henri I.
