Victoria, Capital city in Mahé Island, Seychelles.
Victoria serves as the main port of Seychelles, with deep water facilities that accommodate large ships and an inner harbor for smaller vessels.
The French colonists established the settlement in 1778 under the name L'Établissement before the British renamed it Victoria in 1841.
The city contains two cathedrals, multiple churches, mosques, and Hindu temples, reflecting the diverse religious practices of its population.
The Seychelles International Airport connects Victoria to international destinations, while paved roads link the city to major points across Mahé Island.
A clock tower modeled after London's Little Ben stands in the city center, marking Victoria's historical connection to British administration.
