The Immigration Depot is a building complex located in Port Louis on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius, the first British colony to receive indentured, or contracted, labour workforce from many countries. Unchecked infrastructural development in the mid-20th century means that only the partial remains of three stone buildings from the entire complex have survived.These are now protected as a national monument, under the Mauritian national heritage legislation.The Immigration Depot's role in social history was recognized by UNESCO when it was declared a World Heritage Site in 2006.
