The capital of the island is a city with many facets, or rub shoulders with Eastern bazaars and shopping malls, costumes and saris, old colonial houses and skyscrper. For an overview of the city and its suroundings, it is interesting to climb to the citadel, Fort Adelaide, an ancient fortress, we can see on a hill behind the Champ de Mars. If the center was transformed into a bustling city "Singapore model", just wander through neighborhoods to find the true character of the city.
