The best museums Suva

Previously founded in the Old Town Hall in 1904, the Fiji Museum as we know it today opened in 1955 in Thurston Gardens. The museum houses countless exhibits on the history of Fiji. You'll see artifacts that are over 3,700 years old. Bones, skulls, whale teeth, weapons of war, relics, pottery, photos and an impressive canoe among many others, the drua, from the early ^nineteenth century... A small anthropological trip that allows to discover more about the rites and cultures associated with the Pacific world.

It is the residence of the President of Fiji and a replica of the one in Sri Lanka, which was under British rule at the same time. The current building was constructed in 1928, after the previous residence was completely destroyed by a fire started by lightning.

Obviously, you can't visit the presidential residence for security reasons, but you will notice the imposing guard, dressed in white "sulu" and a red jacket!

On the same street, you can take a look at the Government Buildings.

The Sacred Heart Cathedral, or simply Suva Cathedral, was built in 1902 with rock from Sydney. Imposing, it is inspired by Romanesque architecture and is covered with stained glass and ornaments. It is the main building of Catholic religion on the island of Viti Levu.

It is difficult to enter, as it is often closed, but try to come a little before the mass hours in order to have a little visit.
