It is the capital of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, a Windward Island in the eastern Caribbean Sea. It has a population of 15,466 (1991). It is located in the southern part of St. Vincent and has the largest port on the island. This port is the export port for the island's agricultural products and also the port of entry for tourists. The influence of the long period of British rule remains strong, with the Anglican Cathedral, built in the Georgian architectural style, and St. Mary's Catholic Church, which is a mixture of Romanesque and Georgian architectural styles. These churches were built with volcanic ash and sand bricks from the island's volcanic activity. Beautiful houses built in the 19th century line the coast. It has a botanical garden, said to be the oldest in the Western Hemisphere, which was established in 1765 as a quarantine center for medicinal herbs to be sent to Britain.

カリブ海東部、ウィンドワード諸島にあるセント・ビンセント・グレナディーンズの首都。人口1万5466(1991)。セント・ビンセント島南部に位置し、島の最大の港がある。この港は島の農産物の輸出港であるとともに観光客が入国する通関港でもある。イギリスの長い統治時代の影響が強く残り、ジョージア王朝時代の建築様式のアングリカン大聖堂やロマネスク様式とジョージア王朝時代の建築様式が混合したセントメアリーズ・カトリック教会がある。これらの教会は、島の火山活動による火山灰と砂の煉瓦で建築されている。海岸には19世紀に建設された美しい住宅が並んでいる。イギリスに送る薬草の隔離所として1765年に設立され、西半球では最古といわれる植物園がある。 [菅野峰明] [参照項目] | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
