  1. Pigeon Island National Landmark is regarded as one of the most significant and beautiful historical sites in Saint Lucia. It's a dramatic depiction of the cultural and historical monuments of international, civil, military, and maritime crosscurrents that have shaped West Indian history. Pigeon Island is being fostered as a living museum inside a natural setting, with careful protection and wise development to meet the intellectual, cultural, and recreational requirements of those who visit this historic place. The gorgeous 44-acre island reserve, located off the coast of Western Australia, was originally encircled by water before being connected to the mainland in 1972 by a man-made causeway.


    The Government of Saint Lucia declared Pigeon Island as a National Park in 1979 and a National Landmark in 1992, recognizing the importance of securing this spot where the balance of late-eighteenth-century maritime power was settled. Ruins of military buildings used during the battles between the French and the British for the island of Saint Lucia; Two beautiful beaches; A restaurant serving local cuisine; A pub and restaurant with a historical theme; and a lookout point at the top of the Fort with a panoramic view of the Northwest coastline are among the heritage attractions and amenities at Pigeon Island National Landmark.

  2. On the south side of Castries, Morne Fortune is a massive mountain that towers over the city. “The Morne”is rich in history and tourist attractions that are particularly appealing to those who want to get off the usual tourist road and explore the island's cultural past. Following Bridge Street out of town to the south end of town is the most enjoyable way to climb the Morne; the road snakes back and forth as you climb. As you near the top, you'll come to an overlook with a breathtaking view of the city and the northwest coast. There is no better place for cruise passengers to take a photograph of their ship anchored below.


    The Morne Fortune played a significant role in the island's history during the 18th and 19th centuries. The British built numerous fortresses, gun emplacements, and other military structures that can still be seen dispersed around the mountain. The Morne Battery still has four cannons, as well as a cemetery with the graves of French and British soldiers, a few civilians, and some of St. Lucia's nineteenth-century governors. The 852-foot peak also provides a good perspective of Castries Harbor, which is nearby.


    Sir Arthur Lewis Community College, atop the Morne, is named after Saint Lucia's first Nobel Laureate, who is buried on the campus. Many of the historic military structures have been refurbished and are now part of the beautiful campus.

  3. Soufrière Estate was founded in 1713 as a 2,000-acre (8.1 km2) estate handed to three Devaux brothers in exchange for services to King Louis XIV of France. Mineral springs were later discovered, and the French soldiers used them as therapeutic baths. The French Governor of St Lucia, Baron de Laborie, sent samples of the water to Paris for examination in 1784, and it is thought to be beneficial for rheumatism and skin ailments. Soufrière Estate is one of Saint Lucia's oldest and best-preserved estates as well as one of the most beautiful historical sites in Saint Lucia.


    The Botanical Gardens, Waterfall, Mineral Baths, Nature Trail, Old Mill Restaurant, and the historic Soufrière Estate House are included in this place and have all been transformed from a working plantation that once produced limes, copra, and cocoa into one of the region's major heritage sites as well as a viable and spectacular tourist attraction.


    This multi-award-winning tourism property on six acres is a charming, appealing, and tranquil haven from the outer world. While walking through lush luxuriant greenery and marveling at the vast range of tropical flowers and plant life, visitors can enjoy the beauty and warmth of the tropics. You've just entered a world with a spectacular waterfall, hot mineral springs that fill the historic baths with age-old medicinal waters, and a plethora of flora and animals. They are all historically significant and naturally attractive. A refuge for birds and insects that provides a true natural experience unlike anything else in the Caribbean.

  4. The Morne Coubaril Estate, situated south of Soufrière, is now a working estate as well as a historical site. Guests are treated to live demonstrations of the manufacturing of cassava, cocoa, and a variety of coconut-based items.

  5. The Fond d'Or Nature Reserve and Historical Park is located 45 minutes from Castries in the Mabouya valley, which is famed for agriculture, sugar, and rum. There are remnants of an old sugar mill, a windmill, and the plantation house, which is now an interpretation center, can be found. The creepy slave trade that drove the labor on the estates two centuries ago is mentioned in the history.


    This lovely natural and historic park is 96 hectares in size (238 acres). Amerindians first populated this area of Saint Lucia, but when Europeans arrived, they discovered its potential for sugar production. With an Amerindian site, mangrove, tropical forest, and a route through dry scrub forests to a sandy beach, the location is steeped in history. Hikers can follow a track that runs through tropical jungle to a pristine white sand beach. Turtle watchers might get a sight of the Leatherback Turtles that make their home here. Because the sea is choppy, swimming is dangerous. The interpretation center is also recommended for visitors. Fond d’Or Nature Reserve & Historical Park also occupies the last place in the list of the most beautiful historical sites in Saint Lucia.
