Description
Old Town's beginnings can be traced back to the early 1700s, when a tobacco warehouse on the waterfront near what is now Oronoco Street spawned a small settlement. In recent decades this area of the city has become increasingly mindful of its architectural heritage, fostering an image of genteel provincialism. Shops, restaurants, old houses and churches abound here.
