Palm Island, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Here, a beautiful Cathedral of St. Mary is preserved, the construction of which took place in the beginning of the 19th century. The building was seriously damaged due to destructive elements. In 1930, the cathedral was completely restored and remained unchanged since then. It is incredibly interesting from an architectural point of view. Composed of dark volcanic blocks, it represents an amazing combination of Gothic, Moorish and Romanesque styles.
St. George's Cathedral is a true glimpse of the Gregorian style. Its construction was completed in the early 19th century. It is in its walls, that a unique relic presented by Queen Victoria - a Red Angel stained-glass window is kept. Among other unusual sights of the capital, the Botanical Garden is worth noting. The garden was founded in 1762 by William Bilai. The incoming captain decided to establish a commercial garden nursery on these fertile lands. Exotic plants were brought here from all corners of the world.

A popular pedestrian route - Bukament-Valley-Vermont-Neyche-Trail - begins in the immediate vicinity of the capital. It passes through incredibly beautiful rainforests, banana groves and volcanic ridges, encompassing many interesting for studying natural attractions. The most important landmark is an active volcano La Soufriere. Its height is 1234 meters. The ascent to the volcano's mouth remains one of the favourite entertainments for active tourists.
