This is a great spot to people watch. Also, the market is close by. If you want to get a feel for the city culture of St. Lucia, this is a good place to start.

The heart of Castries especially with the beautiful Saman tree guarding its entrance.

St Lucia has the greatest number of Nobel Prizes per capita in the world (2 for a population of 160 thousand), one is Derek Walcott. The square in the centerr of Castries has the oldest mahogany tree of the region and it worthwhile a visit!
