A very large, beautiful and well maintained wooden cathedral. The interior is well worth a look with the gorgeous wooden arched ceilings and a big suspended cross at the alter.

The historic inner city of Paramaribo is full of wooden colonial houses in various stages of neglect and dilapidation. Beautiful in its decay. Hopefully through private and some government funding it will be possible to retain these 291 official monuments. The oldest of all, the actual stone Fort Zeelandia, is in slightly better shape since it is also the official museum of Suriname - actually quite a nicely curated museum, worth a visit! The historic city became a UNESCO world heritage site in 2002 also because the original 17th century streetplan is still largely retained. There are no highrises in Paramaribo whatsoever!

You are certain to receive an invitation if you are in country as a diplomat; enjoy the special flavors of Suriname foods often served on the front lawn.

Fort Zeelandia was first built by the British and extended by the Dutch as a fortification on a prominent point on the Suriname river. It has mostly been a prison throughout the years, and even the scene of recent history with the political December murders in 1982. Now it is a rather gorgeous small museum about the history of Suriname. Outside is the statue of Queen Wilhelmina, also the monarch of Suriname in her days.

Historic and a little bit mysterious place. In the midst of the jungle, near the Suriname river suddenly there is a place with the remains of an old Jewish plantation: the ruin of a synagogue, stone tombs of Jewish people and wooden crosses above the tombs of non-Jewish people. In historical perspective it's the most important place in South America for the Jewish history.

I did not go into the building, but as I walked around downtown it was striking how the mosque stood out from different perspectives.
