The Berkeley Memorial was erected in 1883 in memory of Thomas Berkeley a legislator and owner of plantations in St. Kitts. After the fire of Basseterre on 4th July 1867, which destroyed East of West Square Street, it was discovered the fire vehicle had difficulty maneuvering through the streets. However, in 1883 it was decided to widen Fort Street and place the monument in the center which we now call The Circus. A small replica of "Big Ben at Picadilli Square in London". The monument has clocks and water fountains and became and still is a social venue for taxi drivers and everyone else especially during festive occasions. Just a short distance is the Independence Square renamed from the former Pall Mall Square a former slave market. Here slaves were stored in the surrounding buildings in the dungeons and placed on display for sale. Most of the buildings surrounding the Square still have the same style of architecture. Today the square is a relaxing venue for everyone.

ADMIRE SCENIC COASTS & TROPICAL GARDENS Enjoy a lovely coastal trip to Romney Manor and the Caribelle Batik Shop. Visit the vestiges of the 17th-century manor of Capt. Samuel Jefferson, great-great-great-grandfather of President Thomas Jefferson, and today home to a batik studio whose artisans produce prints and apparel of vibrant tropical themes and colors. Stroll the stately grounds and admire beautiful botanical specimens collected from the four corners of the world, including groves of Bismark Palms, Traveler Palms, and a magnificent 370-year-old African Saman Tree. Or, explore the periphery of a Caribbean rainforest located just steps from Romney Manor.
