Berkeley Memorial

The Berkeley Memorial stands at the center of Basseterre, the capital of St. Kitts and Nevis, and was erected in 1883 as an iron monument during the British colonial period. It remains one of the few surviving colonial-era memorials on the island, marking a focal point of the town's street layout. The specific history of who Berkeley was and what prompted the memorial's construction is best discovered on a visit to the square itself.
