Things to do · Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands' oldest surviving stone building, a great house built around 1780 on a limestone bluff above the sea at Savannah. It is remembered as the birthplace of democracy in the islands — the 1831 decision to form an elected assembly was taken here — and the restored three-storey house is furnished in period style amid manicured grounds. A multi-sensory theatre presentation sets up the history before you wander the rooms and gardens.
