1)
Cenotaph
Leaving the Cruise ship berth and go right, climbing a short hill.
The Cenotaph commemorates Dominicans lost in two world
wars; the smaller memorial is for the Free French who made Dominica
their home after the fall of France in 1940.
2)
SafeHaven
Building
Directly across from the Cenotaph is an impressive stone and wood
building. Recently restored with yellow and white wooden veranda, it is
home to the Land duty-free store downstairs.
3)
Crazy Banana
A little down the hill from the SafeHaven building is this great little
gift shop!
4)
Green Residence
 Continuing down the hill from the Crazy Banana
you will come to a junction. Look across and to the left – you
will see an impressive white building. Home to the Green family,
it is an excellent example of the typical Creole decorative
fretwork on the overhanging verandah.

5)
Methodist
Church
From the junction go to your right, keeping the gasoline station on
your right. At the end of the short road and up to the right
is The Methodist Church.
6)
Catholic Cathedral
Walking up the small hill past the Methodist Church,
you will find the Catholic Cathedral right next to it.
Properly known as the cathedral of Our Lady of Fair Haven, it
was built between 1800 and 1916.
7)
Bishop’s House
Continuing along Virgin Lane past the
Cathedral be sure to take in the view north that affords a good
view of Roseau. The Bishops House is on your right.
8)
King George
V St.
From the crossroads by the Bishop’s House, turn left and go down the
short hill to the main crossroad. Take a left and walk back
towards the sea. On either side of the road good there are good
examples of Creole architecture.
9)
Old Market
& Museum
Once used as the place where slaves were bought and sold, it is now
a craft market. The Museum is home to a fascinating timeline
of Dominica’s history.
