It remained under British rule until the islands declared their independence in 1983. Throughout the citys long history, natural disasters and conflicts have afflicted Basseterre; most buildings date from the latter part of the 1800s. A visit to the citys two cathedrals, St. Georges Anglican Church and the Catholic Cathedral of Immaculate Conception, will appeal to those with a love of history and architecture.
