Sights of the American Virgin Islands

The territory of the Virgin Islands belonging to the United States includes the main islands of St. Tomas, St. John and Santa Curus. Each of them, one way or another, is developed on tourist terms and is ready to offer guests first -class beaches and picturesque landscapes – all attributes of traditional rest on the islands of the Caribbean basin. Nevertheless, the sights of the Virgin Islands are quite numerous, and, perhaps, this is their main advantage over the neighbors. Traditionally, the capital of the region, located on Saint Thomas, has the largest number of interesting places. First of all, the port in the Danish style – the gates of the city – is always filled, but at the same time preserving the neatness. Fort, once protecting the port, is the oldest building of Europeans on the island. Another surviving ancient fortification is the Danish castle Blackbier, erected in the 17th century. Each island retained some of its part of the common story. It should be noted that a lot of buildings of 17-19 centuries have been preserved on the islands., This is especially true for cult architecture. The real attractions of the Virgin Islands are the oldest synagogue in the United States and the Gregorian Church of mid -19.
