19. FIJI

20. LEVUKA HISTORICAL PORTTOWN

21. The town and its low line of buildings set among coconut and mango trees along the beach
front was the first colonial capital of Fiji, ceded to the British in 1874. It developed from the
early 19th century as a centre of commercial activity by Americans and Europeans who built
warehouses, stores, port facilities, residences, and religious, educational and social institutions
around the villages of the South Pacific island’s indigenous population. It is a rare example of a
late colonial port town that was influenced in its development by the indigenous community
which continued to outnumber the European settlers.Thus the town, an outstanding example
of late 19th century Pacific port settlements, reflects the integration of local building traditions
by a supreme naval power, leading to the emergence of a unique landscape.
