January 11, 2022 Malia Yoakum

The bustling port city of Castries is St. Lucia's capital. Shoppers flock to the city's dozens of stores and to Castries Market for fruits, vegetables and handicrafts. Sightseers admire murals painted by a local artist inside Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, and relax in Derek Walcott Square, named for the St. Lucian Nobel-prize-winning poet. Atop Morne Fortune (Hill of Good Luck) - where the French and English battled over control of the island - visitors take in panoramic vistas.

Derek Walcott Square

This town square is named for Nobel laureate Derek Walcott, a native of the island.

Reviewed By Dream767845 - Calgary, Canada

Well kept green space in the city center. Named after one of two Nobel laureates born in St Lucia. Adjacent to the square is the historic Library building one of few old buildings which survived the devastating fire in 1948 that destroyed much of Castries.
