Basseterre has been the British capital of St. Kitts since 1727, though it was part of the French sector when the two nations held the island concurrently. The name in French means “low land,” which is evident in the commercial district and its pre-disposal to flooding during the rainy season. There is a large treasury building right on the waterfront, and this domed colonial building is a reminder of the historic importance of the islands as sugar colonies. Everything that arrived or departed from St. Kitts went through those arches.
