– St John’s Cathedral
Located in the middle of Belize City, St John’s Cathedral is one of the rare heritages of British colonization.

Today, it’s the oldest monument build by Europeans in Belize.
– Baron Bliss Lighthouse
Being the only Central American country to have English as an official language, Belize plays a unique role in that region. One of the major facts of the history of Belize is that its greatest benefactor never stepped on its land. He died on his boat without ever disembarking and bequeathed 2 million Belizean dollars to the country. As a tribute to him, these 16 meters high lighthouse was built, and the baron’s remains are located at the top of it.
– Historical Museum
A must-see is Belize’s Historical Museum, established in Fort George which was, in its time, a prison. It was built in 1857 and the stones that were used for its construction are all from England and the London region. Inside, you will see Mayan remnants and the history of the colonization of the country.
Note that there is a very rare collection of stamps that will be the delight of philatelists.
– Rum Distilleries
Several brands of rum exist in Belize. Though it is a Central American country, Belize has a Caribbean identity. Which is why rum production is very important there. This industry is dominated by Travelers Liquors, a company based in Belize City. The distillery produces rum distributed all over the country.
