City of Castries Historical Tour
Overview
Cradled on the periphery of a collapsed volcanic crater, the capital city of Saint Lucia, Castries or La Carenage as she was called in the years gone by, is an inviting little town rich in history and patiently waiting to share the stories of the many stormy years gone by.
Your tour begins with a stroll towards the Central Market with your knowledgeable Tour Guide, and you are welcomed with beaming smiles from the vendors all eager to sell you their wares. The aromas fill the air with lingering scents of all the spices grown and processed locally, colorfully set up on countless display trays.
Continue your stroll bypassing the many historical buildings including the Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception, Derek Walcott Square, and the beautiful Victorian Building which houses our central library.
An uphill drive gives a full view of the entire city. Enjoy the captivating scenes as you visit the ancient ruins scattered on the mountaintop.
