 Independence Square St Kitts


St Kitts & Nevis French meaning ' lowlands '

 Independence Square is the town square for Basseterre and is filled with local history. During the slave period, the slave auctions were held in Independence Square; slaves were kept in tunnels under the Georgian House and brought up to the square for bidding. Today the square is alive with family outings, impromptu gatherings, and as a place to gather for parades and parties

The Circus
Today Basseterre's French heritage is not nearly so prominent as its British colonial past. The centerpiece of the city's evocative Georgian architecture is its Circus, a diminutive roundabout modeled in proper Victorian patriotism after Piccadilly, in London. In the middle of the Circus stands the bright green bronze of the Berkeley Memorial Clock, an ornate, cast iron tower with four clock faces and more than a little architectural decoration.
