Castries Market
Castries Central Market
An 1894 market by the capital's harbor, housed in an orange-red iron-roofed building. Spices, cocoa sticks, handicrafts, and Creole snacks are all on offer.
Castries Central Market was built in 1894, and its iconic orange-red corrugated iron roof stands directly across from the harbor cruise terminal. Inside, handicraft and souvenir stalls sell spice baskets, hot sauce, cocoa sticks, and woven grass items. The adjoining produce market sells tropical fruit and vegetables, and the food stalls at the back serve local lunch. Crowds are heavy on cruise days, so bargain moderately. It is about 1 hour 15 minutes by car from Soufrière.
