One of the largest cemeteries in the Caribbean, Le Repentir was opened in 1861 to replace the smaller in-town burial grounds. It covers more than a hundred acres in the south of central Georgetown and is a strange, melancholy place — Victorian tombs and angels half-swallowed by tropical vegetation, broad avenues lined with palms, and a constant background of birdsong.
It is not really a tourist sight, more an unexpectedly powerful one to wander through if you happen to be passing. Go in daylight only, and ideally with a companion — quiet stretches of the cemetery are not always safe. The name, "Repentance," derives from an old French plantation that once stood on the site.
