Woodford Square

Port of Spain

Several distinct buildings overlook

Trinity. The Hall of Justice lies to

the north; the Old Fire Station and

National Library (originally built

in 1897, then refurbished and integrated

into the new Library) to

the west, across the road from the

Red House (originally built in 1844,

formerly the seat of Parliament,

but currently being restored —

work has been slowed by the discovery

of First Peoples remains

and artefacts dating to 430–1400

AD); and the remains of the razed

Greyfriars Church to the east.

Zoology Museum

Port of Spain

Based at the University of the

West Indies, the zoological

specimens here include the

Banwari Man — the human

skeleton found lying in a

crouched burial position in

1969, and the oldest evidence of

human activity on Caribbean

soil. Banwari Trace, where it

was found, has yielded artefacts

belonging to the Ortoiroid people,

dating back to 5,000 BC.
