The former Saint-Pierre Prison is famous for having housed the dungeon of Cyparis, the "sole survivor" of the eruption of Montagne Pelée. When the volcano erupted, Louis-Auguste Cyparis, who was locked up there for assaulting a fellow prisoner with a knife, was injured by the volcano's burning smoke, but survived the catastrophe. He was found 3 days later by rescuers in Morne-Rouge. Today, as you explore the ruins of the site, you can make out the various cells and courtyards, each with its own pool.
