Tips
This is the central square of the town. It was once the slave market. It was originally named after Christopher Columbus, but in 1993 renamed to honor the town's native son, poet, playwriter and painter Derek Walcott, who won the 1992 Nobel Prize for literature.

There are still a number of old houses in Derek Walcott Square in the center of Castries. In the middle of the square there is a supposedly 400-year-old rain tree, which is considered a landmark of Castries.
