Old Market of Roseau, Colonial market building in Roseau, Dominica

The Old Market of Roseau, also called Old Market Plaza and Dawbiney Market Square, is a square behind The Dominica Museum on the seafront. Since a 1988 renovation turned it into a craft centre, its shops and stalls have sold handcrafted jewellery, T-shirts and spices.

During colonial times, this site functioned as the main trading hub between Dominica and surrounding islands. The 1988 renovation transformed the location into a craft center.

Artisans offer handmade jewelry, textiles, and spices that reflect the island's craftsmanship traditions. The stalls showcase local creative skills passed down through generations.

The market is located behind the Dominica Museum near King George V Street and is accessible on foot from central Roseau. Most visitors arrive on days when cruise ships dock in the harbor.

The square's alternate name, Dawbiney Market Square, is often overlooked by visitors who know it only as the Old Market. It sits directly behind The Dominica Museum on the seafront, so the two are usually seen together.
