Levuka Historical Port Town

The coastal settlement features wooden buildings along Beach Street, with traditional storefronts reflecting Pacific maritime architecture and mountain backdrops.

Between 1874 and 1882, this port served as the first colonial capital of Fiji before administrative functions moved to Suva.

The architecture combines indigenous Fijian building methods with European colonial designs, evident in structures like the Sacred Heart Cathedral and former Parliament House.

Visitors access the town through a combination of bus transport from Suva to the ferry terminal, followed by a boat journey to Levuka.

The town contains the South Pacific's first Masonic lodge, established in 1875, marking its role in regional colonial development.
