| ROBBEN ISLAND MUSEUM |
Robben Island is situated about 12km into the
sea in the middle of Table Bay. Separated from the Cape mainland
by a narrow channel of seawater, the island is a remote place,
considered inaccessible for centuries. The author Lawrence
Green described Robben Island as "The Island of Exiles",
an appropriate title, given that the island has been used
primarily as a prison ever since the Dutch settled at the
Cape in the mid-16th century.
