Inner city of Paramaribo...

2007.08.25












Many were shot from the car I was in... always in a hurry with short visit timing... sorry about that, still... I'm happy to share these with you !

Historic Inner city of Paramaribo became Unesco World Heritage in 2002.

Paramaribo is a former Dutch colonial town from the 17th and 18th centuries planted on the northern coast of tropical South America. The original and highly characteristic street plan of the historic centre remains intact. Its buildings illustrate the gradual fusion of Dutch architectural influence with traditional local techniques and materials.

Paramaribo is an exceptional example of the gradual fusion of European architecture and construction techniques with indigenous South America materials and crafts to create a new architectural idiom.

Paramaribo is a unique example of the contact between the European culture of the Netherlands and the indigenous cultures and environment of South America in the years of intensive colonization of this region in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Carley Really interesting and beautiful angles & architecture. I had to look twice at #3.....The pillars painted black at the bottom looked like they were floating in air!

SilkeHoltmann Looks like a set in a Hollywood movie, "North and South" or something like that.
I loved this movie so much - and so I love your set, too!

Ingrid Nice pick. But you know what, it would be great to let someone of the city provide you with some information about the buildings and the streets they're in. But nice picks.
Ingrid · 2007-09-24: 07:41
jendayee Unfortunately Ingrid you're not a member so I don't know how to communicate with you... if ever you pass by again, know that these informations were given by the site of Paramaribo town. If you fell like adding something, it's fine, but I did not create any information here :)))
