Slave bell

They were featured in slave plantations throughout the Americas and notably in the slavery systems in Cape Colony, present-day South Africa.

In South Africa, the pillars of the slave bell is a distinctive feature of the Cape Dutch architectural style.

The bell initially installed outside the porter's lodge at St. Catharine's before it was moved to an accommodation block in 1994 where it was in a prominent position overlooking the centre of the college.

[12][13] In May 2019 the governing body and students of St Catharine’s College unanimously agreed that the bell should be removed view and would eventually be donated to Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.

In August 2019 it was reported that the Guyanese High Commissioner Frederick Hamley Case had persuaded the college to return the bell to Guyana.

[15] In 1988, Valle de los Ingenios and neighbouring city Trinidad were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
