WELL OF THE CHAINED

To get to the Well of the Chained Ones (Gatovoudo), one passes in front of the cemetery, following a dirt road. The well dates from the 1800s and is enclosed by a low wall. In the middle of the tomato fields, a plaque indicates the visit of the Director General of UNESCO in 2007. It is more a symbolic place than a place to visit, the interest being very limited and the place not maintained. It is here that slaves used to wash for the last time in order to remove their "impurities" before being loaded onto ships bound for the colonies.
