| Turns out the place was never used as a leper colony. They found cures for leprosy just before it was due to open in the 1940's. It was used as a military training camp for a short while and as a film set. There are more than 30 big buildings spread out. Apparently, it was built in such a way as to make it confusing to exit. |
