This bustling street market is the cultural heart of Victoria and one of the best places to experience the authentic local atmosphere of the Seychelles. Offering a colourful range of produce, souvenirs and vibrant architectural features the Sir Selwyn Clark Market is an essential place to visit if you’re on the island.
History of the Market
The market was named after Sir Percy Selwyn-Clarke who served as the Governor of Seychelles from 1947 to 1951, who is often credited for uplifting the country during a transformative period. The market was built in 1840 and its central location in the town makes it a significant commercial spot not too far from Anantara Maia Seychelles Villas.
Vibrant Architecture
The market was renovated in 1999 to preserve its vibrant design that provides plenty of shade from the sun to shoppers who browse through various stalls. The market is one of the prominent examples of colonial architecture that combines practicality and historic charm.
