Robben Island is an island in Table Bay, 12 km off the coast from Cape Town.

Since the end of the 17th century, Robben Island has been used to isolate people, mainly prisoners.
From 1836 to 1931 the island was used as a leper colony and animal quarantine station. During WWII, the island was fortified and guns were installed as part of the defences for Cape Town.

In 1959 Robben Island became a maximum security prison. Between 1961 and 1991, over three thousand men were incarcerated here as political prisoners, often for decades, most notably Nelson Mandela. The last of the prisoners left the island in 1996. The prison has since become a museum.

Today the island is a popular tourist destination and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1999. It is reached by ferry from the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront in Cape Town and is open throughout the year, weather permitting, and tours of the island and prison are led by guides who were formerly prisoners there.
