Roseau In Focus

The capital’s bustling and vibrant atmosphere can be attributed to its status as an epicentre for foreign trade of local goods such as bananas, grapefruits, oranges, and cocoa, which ebbs into the visitor experience through flourishing, winding local markets, introducing tourists to the everyday lives of residents.   Colonial French architecture predominantly adorns the city’s colourful buildings, typified by a French Creole design that perfectly blends with the island’s Kalinago heritage. Guests can best explore these fascinating influences by delving into the likes of the Old Market Square – the intersection of commerce, culture, and heritage.   Gazing upon the towering Old Lady of Fair Haven of Roseau, you can’t help but notice the Gothic Romanesque and Caribbean stylistic appearance that characterises the cathedral, which first opened in 1916 and has become a key pillar of the local community, holding widely attended religious services.   A microcosm of the island’s lush, verdant landscapes, Roseau is also home to the Dominica Botanic Gardens, whose mesmerising flora is indicative of the island’s warm tropical climate. The peaceful gardens feature 40 acres of swaying bottle palms, delicate and fragrant orchids, and a beautiful Carib Wood tree, which produces the endemic national flower of Dominica with its vivid scarlet colour.   Roseau offers you a new side to The Nature Island, bustling with welcoming people, distinguished architecture, and a deep insight into Dominican culture.
