St. Louis Cathedral

A beautiful and unusual iron building, a cornerstone of religious life on the island.

Reviewed By robbygc - Toronto, Canada

The first thing I saw of the Cathedral was the steeple. At the top was the cross. Underneath was the time. Part of the cathedral was attached to houses. It is painted in yellow. Inside theu have a beautiful organ. Behind the altar is Jesus on the cross. Lots of pillars inside the Cathedral The benches were made of wood. I liked the many stained-glass windows. As it was Christmas season, there was a pine tree with anything to make it attractive! The Cathedral was finished at 1893. . A must see!

Schoelcher Library

Built in France in 1889, this library was shipped piece by piece to the island, where it stands today, a beautiful monument to slavery abolitionist Victor Schoelcher.

Reviewed By quinten5555 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Fort-de-France is not really an obligatory stop during your visit to the French Caribbean island of Martinique, but within the city, this building certainly is. It is located on the edge of the Savane Park and walking distance from the cathedral and all other main sites. A stunning building!

Fort Saint-Louis

This French fort is best known for its architecture and its commanding views of the coast.

Reviewed By ROCruiser - Claremont, United States

On a hot sunny day, we almost gave up the idea to find the entrance of the fort until we found the kiosk across the street at the corner of the park. We purchased the tour tickets (8E or $10) and were told to come back at a certain time for the group tour. Maurice, an excellent and experience guide was very informative. And we also had a new female guide who is in training. We learned a lot in the 1 1/2 hour tour. This is an active military fort and they takes it very seriously by unlocking and locking the gate as we were visiting inside. You cannot get in for free or by yourself and we were only taken to the parts of the fort where visitors were allowed. Excellent view of the port and the city up at the top of the fort. The best place to be while we stopped as a cruise port.

Espace Camille Darsiere

Partially free, very nice building and courtyard. The cultural center was the former Palace of Justice. In front of the building is a Schoelcher statue in a mini-park.
