Derek Walcott Square

The city's centre is this large, 18th century square that was once called "Plaza de Colón", but is now called Derek Walcott square in honour of the poet, writer and local playwright who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1992. It's a busy square because the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception , the Central Library and the city's main shopping street, [poi = 111 118] Brazil Street [/ poi], are all nearby.
