Roseau has a unique history amongst Caribbean capital cities, with one of the finest collections of preserved traditional architecture. On this guided walking tour hear the stories behind some of its most characterful buildings from guide Jackie Dupigny, a founding member of SHAPE (Society for Heritage Architecture Preservation & Enhancement), who grew up on Long Lane in Roseau.

At the Old Market hear about the Maroon chief Balla's trial; see the town’s fretwork balconies that make Dominica’s carnival so unique; visit the private hidden courtyard of an 1800s Creole townhouse & at the Newtown Armoury learn of the liberation of 433 persons from the capture of an illegal slave trading ship—these are just a few of the sites on the tour.
