Georgetown: Guyana's Capital and Cultural Hub
Georgetown, the capital of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana, is located on the Atlantic coast in the northeast of the country, near the mouth of the Demerara River, and is the political, economic, cultural and transportation center of the country. Founded in the 18th century as a Dutch and British colony, the port city's colonial architecture is still evident, with buildings such as St. George's Cathedral (one of the tallest wooden churches in the world), the City Hall and the Victorian Law Courts highlighting its unique historical heritage. As the main gateway to Guyana, the port of Georgetown is responsible for much of the country's import and export trade, and the economy is based on agriculture (sugar, rice), mining (bauxite) and light industry. The city's multicultural mix of Indian, African, Chinese and Aboriginal communities has shaped a rich culture of food, music and festivals, making it one of the most vibrant cities in the Caribbean.
