The 17th-century capital is graced with attractive British, Dutch, French and Spanish colonial architecture. The nearby restored Fort Zeelandia houses the Surinam Museum. Other attractions include the 19th-century Roman Catholic cathedral (made entirely of wood – as is the 17th-century synagogue, which lies in stark contrast to the biggest mosque in the Caribbean), Independence Square, the Presidential Palace (with an attractive palm garden) and the lively waterfront and market districts. Palmentuin is a pleasant park, as is the Cultuurtuin, but the latter is a fair distance from the town.
