Top 5 historical landmarks<br />
(downtown Port of Spain)<br />
The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Roman Catholic)*: after several years<br />
of restoration work, the Cathedral at press time was due to be re-dedicated in December<br />
2015. Standing on the eastern end of the Brian Lara Promenade, it started off as a wooden<br />
building until work on the present structure began in 1816. It features some stunning<br />
stained-glass windows depicting <strong>Trinidad</strong>’s history<br />
The Holy Rosary Church (Roman Catholic): towards the eastern end of Park Street,<br />
it was built (1866) in the Gothic revival style and is currently undergoing major restoration<br />
work<br />
The Old Fire Station & NALIS: off the historic Woodford Square, the original Fire Station<br />
was built in 1897, refurbished in 2000, and integrated with the distinctive new National<br />
Library & Information Systems (NALIS) headquarters<br />
The Red House: currently undergoing major repair works, this rebuilt version (the 1844<br />
original was burnt down in 1903 during the Water Riots) used to house the nation’s Parliament,<br />
which has since relocated to the International Waterfront Centre. A First Peoples burial<br />
ground was recently found at the site, including remains and artefacts (430–1400 AD)<br />
The Trinity Cathedral (Anglican): on the south side of Woodford Square, it was completed<br />
