dbo:abstract
  • Castries Market und „Vendor's Arcade“ ist ein Markt in Castries, Saint Lucia. Er liegt am Südostende der Bucht Castries Port, zwischen Bideau Park und King George V Gardens. Zur Bucht hin begrenzen Jeremie Street und John Compton Highway das Gelände und nach Norden die Baptiste Street.Es gibt mehr als 300 dauerhafte Verkäufer und an Markttagen hundert oder mehr Tagesverkäufer. Die offenen Hallen wurden 1891 von Bruce & Still Ltd. aus Liverpool errichtet. Damit sollte das Erscheinungsbild der Stadt verschönert werden. Das Gelände wurde von Gouverneur Sir am 2. Juli 1894 eröffnet. Fisch und Fleisch wird inzwischen nicht mehr auf dem Gelände verkauft, aber der Markt wurde zu einem zentralen Einkaufsort. 1996 erweiterte das Castries City Council das Gelände um eine Vendor's Arcade (Verkaufshalle). Mittlerweile ist der Markt auch eine beliebte Anlaufstelle für Touristen. (de)

The building became the central place for selling a variety of goods such as: fresh meat and fish, herbs, spices, crafts and dry goods. Fish is no longer being sold and meat isn't slaughtered on the premises, but the market has become the central hub for buying almost anything (natural produce and goods). In an effort to relieve congestion in the sidewalks, the Castries City Council opened a Vendor's Arcade annex in 1996. There, tourists can try the cuisine of local restaurants, buy frozen meat or purchase crafts made on site. (en)
