The Sanctuary is a location in Season 7 of AMC's The Walking Dead. It is the home of The Saviors, ruled by Negan.

History

Pre-Apocalypse

Nothing is known about The Sanctuary before the apocalypse other than that it was a factory.

Post-Apocalypse

At some point after the outbreak, the factory became the main headquarters for The Saviors. It remains as an anonymous location to the other communities.

It is more than a simple base for raiders, as it functions as a seemingly self-sustaining community as well. There are gardens, chicken coops, and a marketplace. There are many noncombatant members of The Saviors who work in the Sanctuary, such as gardeners, janitors and doctors.

The Sanctuary is surrounded by a chainlink fence, along with impaled walkers around the perimeter for added security. Enslaved survivors handle the dangerous task of putting these zombies in place. It appears that Sanctuary residents who die are reincorporated as walkers on the fence.
