Castries St Lucia
Castries the capital of Saint Lucia is often used as a cruise ship landing hub and a center for exploring the rest of the Saint Lucia attractions.
However the city itself has much to offer. With a small population of 11,000, Castries is a port city that is bustling with life. The heart of the city is its vibrant market area.
And Castries is eminently photogenic. It is surrounded by a sheltered bay where enormous cruise ships anchor at the foot of the 2795 feet high Morne Fortune.
This is a colonial city founded by the French, and its history is evident in the few colonial edifices that remain despite the two major fires that destroyed most of its historic buildings.
If you love to island hop, Castries makes a great base with its catamaran-filled waters. And if you love shopping, make sure you arrive there with maximum overdraft.

Castries is the capital of the Caribbean island Saint Lucia. It is located on the west coast and is an important tourist destination, partly thanks to the cruise ship port at Pointe Seraphine.
George F.L. Charles Airport connects St. Lucia via frequent flights to Martinique and Guadeloupe. The harbour is also served by high-speed catamarans to Guadeloupe, Martinique and Dominica, making Castries an ideal base for island hopping.
Castries is worth a stop, with its best feature being the soaring Morne Fortune (2795ft), which serves as the town's scenic backdrop. Most of the city’s historic buildings were destroyed by major fires between 1785 and 1948, but it still makes for an interesting stroll. The markets are mostly given over to selling tat to cruise-ship passengers but you can find interest back in the recesses.
Castries was founded by the French in 1650 as Carénage (meaning safe anchorage) when St. Lucia was purchased by Jacques Dyel du Parquet, the governor of Martinique. It was renamed in 1756 after Charles Eugène Gabriel de La Croix, marquis de Castries, commander of a French expeditionary force to Corsica that year. The earlier settlement across the harbour at Vigie, started in 1651, was abandoned after a devastating hurricane in 1780. From 1803 to 1844, the British made the town a major naval port and built fortifications on Morne Fortune, the mountain that overlooks this important harbour. By 1844, Castries had a population of 4,000. By the end of the century it had become a major coaling station, because it was the only port in the Caribbean capable of accommodating the Royal Navy.
During World War II, a German U-boat sailed into Castries harbor and sank two allied ships in 1942, including the Canadian ocean liner RMS Lady Nelson, which was subsequently refloated in the harbour and taken to Canada to be converted to a hospital ship.
