Billet coupe-file: billet pour la visite guidée du château de Pedro St. James
Description
Les visites guidées (toutes les heures entre 9h et 16h) commencent par un film 3D multi-sensoriel détaillant l'histoire du site, suivi d'un aperçu détaillé du musée vivant à l'intérieur de la Grande Maison, de la collection de timbres, des expositions et du paysage pittoresque environnant. Vous trouverez également une boutique de souvenirs et un restaurant sur place. Depuis sa construction il y a plus de deux siècles, Pedro St. James a été utilisé de diverses façons, comme plantation de coton, palais de justice, prison, assemblée gouvernementale et restaurant, avant que le gouvernement des îles Caïmans n'achète la propriété en 1996 et ne la restaure dans sa grandeur du XVIIIe siècle. IT est aujourd'hui un élément dynamique du patrimoine caïmanais. Plus connu comme le « berceau de la démocratie dans les îles Caïmans », Pedro St. James est le lieu d'une réunion le 5 décembre 1831, où IT est décidé de former le premier parlement élu des îles. Plus tard, le 3 mai 1835, la proclamation mettant fin à l'esclavage dans l'Empire britannique a été lue sur le site.

Great tour with Wilson who was very friendly and knowledgeable - we learnt a lot! The media presentation was unavailable so we received a small gift bag as compensation which contained a rum cake, decorative turtle and a booklet on St Pedro history.
I took my 85 yro mother as a cruise excursion and we were not disappointed. Tricia was an outstanding, top notch docent. As an 8th generation native her breadth of knowledge was rich with detail and was the highlight of the experience. Phenomenal job Tricia, you left quite an impression along with some truly fascinating facts - thanks kindly for shining your light today 3/9/26!
Easy entry to view the documentary and then tour the grounds and house. Tour guide was very informative and interesting.
Trisha was our guide and showed us the castle and surrounds. She told us so much about the history of the building and about the plants around it. We did the tour on the first day of our holiday and it gave us a great background to better understand the island. Highly recommend!
We had a tour stop here and I enjoyed the history of the location. The movie to bring you up to speed is nice. The view from the front lawn of the house is amazing. There are several steps up to the main part of the house. History comes alive here.
Very informative! There is a tour guide that talked you first through a scuba museum, then to watch a shirt film on the history of the property, followed by a guided tour of the historic home. Our guide was fantastic
Our guide, Tricia, embodied the warmth, generosity, and spirit of the Cayman Islands. She passionately and proudly shared the history of her heritage, which made us further appreciate the beauty of the Cayman people and their story. This is well worth doing the guided tour to experience this richness. P.S. Be sure to try the 1780 Rum, which can only be experienced here, at the Thatch & Barrel (on site).
Tricia was the most amazing tour guide! She created a personalized, informative, and fun experience for our family of 7! Ask for her, you will not be disappointed and you will walk away with a much greater appreciation for the history of this magnificent island!
Our tour guide Trisha was excellent. She was so knowledgeable with much experience being a native to the island but lived in the states for many years. Salute to her and navy seal husband. We learned a lot. The tour was great seeing 240 yrs of history
Our guide, Wilson, was so knowledgeable about the building and its history as well as the island itself. The “castle” has a fascinating history and is so well reconstructed with period furniture and objects. The movie presentation was fun. Gorgeous views of the water and a nice gift shop. Highly recommended!
