photos - destruction - part 2

The Palais National (Haitian Whitehouse) is destroyed. The public park in front is used by the homeless to set up their shelters.

I think that the entire building will have to be reconstructed.

Port-au-Prince was broken in a matter of seconds and many historical buildings were lost. Now the Palais Nationale is a symbol for a broken city.

This building was used by the police and is next to the Palais Nationale. Heavy damage occurred there too.

The large Sacre Coeur Catholic Church was destroyed. The cross remains standing.
