Belize City
It's said that Belize City was built on a foundation of wood chips, coral, and empty rum bottles. Whether or not that's true, this city of 80,000 people certainly has a storied past. Over the centuries, it's served as a Maya settlement, a pirate stronghold, a British logging town, and the British Empire's Central American seat of power. More recently, it was the capital of the country until Belmopan took the title in 1970. Surrounded by the Caribbean Sea on three sides, Belize City comprises faded Victorian mansions, cinder block buildings, and traditional Creole eateries. It's divided in two by Haulover Creek. The northern side is home to popular sights like the Fort George Lighthouse, the Museum of Belize, and Baron Bliss Memorial; the south side is an urban rigmarole of banks, businesses, and markets.
