• Independence Square - Independence Square is a notable public space in the heart of Basseterre, the capital city of St. Kitts. It is a historically significant site, originally laid out in the 18th century, and has been the center of various celebrations and events throughout the island’s history. It was named to commemorate St. Kitts and Nevis’ independence from the United Kingdom in 1983.

• Immaculate Conception Co-Cathedral Catholic Church - The Co-Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception is an ornate church constructed out of grey stone and located on the eastern side of Independence Square. In the early years of the French occupation of St. Kitts, the Jesuits built a Roman Catholic Church and dedicated it to Our Lady. Notre Dame was burned in 1706 during the Anglo-French war and rebuilt later as St. George’s Anglican Church. The Catholic congregation in St. Kitts diminished drastically in the years following the Treaty of Utrecht. In 1713, the English forbade public worship of the Catholic religion in St. Kitts. Wealthy Catholic families erected cupolas on the tops of their houses as a sign for other Catholics to come and worship. Only two such buildings remain in Basseterre, both on Liverpool Row.

• St. George’s Anglican Church - St. George’s Anglican Church is the largest church in St. Kitts and the site of a significant religious conflict. Its history is tumultuous, representing the island’s early life and the lengthy battles for dominance that defined it.

• The War Memorial - The War Memorial in St. Kitts is a significant landmark located in Basseterre, the capital of the island. It honors the men and women who served and sacrificed during the First and Second World Wars, as well as other conflicts in which St. Kitts was involved. The memorial is a symbol of respect and remembrance for those who fought for freedom and peace.

Situated near the edge of Independence Square, the War Memorial features a statue of a soldier and an inscription that commemorates the fallen. It serves as a place of reflection, especially during Remembrance Day (November 11), when ceremonies are held to honor the veterans.

• Bloody River - Evidence of Indian occupation dating back thousands of years is found in the form of petroglyphs. Additionally, the river and Bloody Point are where approximately 2,000 Kalinago people were massacred by English and French colonists in 1626.

• Rocks (Kalinago Drawings) - Carib Petroglyphs in Old Road Town, Saint Kitts
  The island was inhabited by the Kalinagos – also known as Caribs – before 1623 when the first Europeans arrived at today’s Old Road Town. Most of these Indigenous people were either killed or forced to flee by the earliest English and French settlers. There is scant evidence of their presence on Saint Kitts. A rare exception is these petroglyphs near Wingfield Estate. Historians believe the simplistic rock carvings represent a zemi deity. Others suggest they are fertility symbols. They have been painted white to highlight the details.
