Gallery of Caribbean Vernacular Architecture

"The historic architecture of the Caribbean is a direct reflection of the many cultures and ethnic groups that came together to make the Caribbean the cultural melting pot it is today. Dutch, British, and French colonial powers brought European architectural styles to the region, where they combined over time with that of the native groups. There is also the influence of African cultures brought over as slaves of the colonial powers." [Kreol Magazine] Read More
