Remarkable city on Mauritius, Curepipe different from all other settlements by the architecture — a city of the won constructivism and a functionalism. In French the city is called Curepipe.
Remarkable Catholic cathedral with a surprising mix of styles.
Bust to the prime minister and the president Mauritius Anerood Jugnauth. The bare building with rusty кондеями on a background is as you likely have guessed, Municipal council of Curepipe.
Carnegie's library
Local Rastaman. To me such picturesque any more did not come across.
Catholic cathedral of St. Theresa (french: Eglise Ste Therese).
Cross in a cathedral court yard.
Ancient colonial small house (french: L`hotel de ville). Unique, got to me in Curepipee. Here in Port Louis similar was much.
Drinking fountain. On Mauritius such it is not enough, because in few places there is a water supply and in general a huge problem with water.
Diana. A remark of a classical sculpture.
Sculpture «Paul and Virginie».
Local vagabond. At us same, 1 in 1.
Huge tree.
Ancient mail box. By the way, at some country houses in other settlements remarks of ancient mail boxes come across. And here similar present.
Unreal building of the city market.
Thrown house and any shanty. In the centre, by the way.
Stela with the arms of Curepipe.
Voot and terry constructivism has gone.
Shopping arcade.
Monument to any fighters with something at Royal College. Was too lazy to approach more close, to read that it is written on a monument... In general, the history Mauritius was, in general bloodless. Well, small skirmishes at transition from Frenchmen to Englishmen.
Small streets:
Attention to passing «bucket»: a car number — self-made! And it is an ordinary theme on Mauritius. About such self-made car numbers there will be a separate post.
At last, the index of the name of street (near to a cathedral of St. Theresa). The majority of indexes on Mauritius the self-made. This — a rare exception.
So, I have run all over the basic sights of centre Curepipe, photo have planed. The city is unequivocally recommended to visiting.
Yes, in Curepipe, among other things there is an embassy of the Russian Federation on Mauritius (the address: Queen Mary Avenue, Floreal). And still there is an old extinct volcano (french: Trou Aux Cerfs Volcano), and the embassy settles down nearby, at bottom.
And round a volcano on top the foot path.
Also remarkable city views.
