Clock Tower

Little Ben is located in the center of Victoria, the capital of Seychelles. It was built in 1903 to celebrate the official declaration of Seychelles by the British royal family as a colony directly under the royal family. The tower is about 5 meters high. Opposite it is the only traffic light in Seychelles.

On the streets of Victoria, handicrafts carved from sea coconuts and shells can be seen everywhere, which are quite local. Groups of milky white buildings are hidden among green trees and flowers. A clock tower built in 1903 stands in the city center. On the main street, Istiklal Avenue, there is a large sculpture composed of three black, yellow and white seagulls. It symbolizes the history of the Creoles who came to settle here from Europe, Asia and Africa more than 200 years ago. Today, the African, Malagasy, European, Chinese, Malay and Indian descendants on the island have long been married, and Victoria City has also formed a unique multi-ethnic city style.

After all, it is a British colony, and Little Ben learns from Big Ben.

The next day I arrived, I happened to be in time for the annual carnival. I was fortunate to experience this event firsthand. People from all countries and skins of all colors gathered together. Little Ben just happened to be the center of the carnival float parade.

The Victoria Clock Tower is located in the centre of Victoria and is a landmark of Victoria. This clock tower, which witnessed the colonization of Seychelles, was less than 10 meters high and was presented by the British in 1903 (the year when Seychelles became a British colony). Because it is a miniature copy of Big Ben in London, it is also called "Little Ben".
