Berkeley Memorial

In the heart of Basseterre, at the center of the Circus—a roundabout inspired by London’s Piccadilly Circus—stands the Berkeley Memorial. This ornate green tower, built in 1883, honors Thomas Berkeley, a local legislator and estate owner. The memorial features a drinking fountain at its base, providing a refreshing stop for passersby. Above, a clock with four faces keeps time, making it both a functional and decorative landmark. Visitors can admire the intricate design and take a moment to rest and hydrate while exploring the bustling city.
