“High on a hill, in the timeless setting of the area of Rincon and surrounded by beautiful nature stands a large white building. The 'Mangazina di Rei' (The King’s Repository) was used by the Dutch government in the nineteenth century to store rations for government slaves. It also played a significant role in the area, which -at that time- was called the National Gardens to the East.” www.mangazinadirei.org
