Pedro St. James Castle
Pedro St. James
A stone plantation house built in 1780, the birthplace of Cayman democracy, with views of waves crashing against the cliffs below.
Pedro St. James is the oldest surviving stone building in the Cayman Islands, known locally as the "castle." In 1831, the first Cayman parliament met here, and it is considered the birthplace of Cayman democracy. The restored three-story house displays colonial-era furniture, and a multimedia theater tells the story of Cayman's history. The house stands on limestone cliffs along the south coast, where the waves crashing below make a dramatic sight. Admission is about US$15. It is roughly a 15-minute drive east of George Town, in Savannah.
