Located about 2,000 kilometres off the west coast of Africa, St. Helena was not discovered by a Portuguese navigator until the 16th century due to its remote location.

At that time, this small land belonged to the British East India Company, and it was sparsely populated, depressed and desolate.
Napoleon and his entourage were housed in the "Longwood Villa" of East India Company employees, and his range of activities was limited to 12 kilometers around the villa. Napoleon spent more than five years in exile here before dying in 1821, the cause of which remains a mystery to this day.
