Bassaterre

To start your walking tour, find the centre of town designated as the Circus. At its centre is a green clock and water fountain built in 1883 named The Berkley Memorial. This roundabout creates an interesting focal point for getting around town. Once claiming the finest examples of Georgian architecture in the Caribbean, Basseterre town is going through its share of inevitable modernization while trying to hold on to the past through its buildings, public squares, and the efforts of the business community to maintain some historic authenticity. Here is the bustling centre of commercial, financial and trading activity, alive with colour and chatter and the vibrancy of our people.
