To the south of Castries looms Morne Fortune, the “Hill of Good Luck.”

Right next to Derek Walcott Square is one of the most important French-built religious buildings in the West Indies.

Derek Walcott, born in St. Lucia in 1930, won a Nobel Prize for literature. Plaques within the park honor Walcott with a verse from his epic poem, Ste. Lucie.
