Known forartsheritagecolonialCentral
A beautifully restored colonial-era police headquarters, magistracy, and prison complex turned into a vibrant arts and heritage hub in the heart of Central. Wander the atmospheric courtyards, catch rotating contemporary art exhibitions, and browse independent shops and restaurants. The architecture alone is worth the visit — thick stone walls and colonial verandas sit alongside modern interventions. Some ticketed exhibitions apply, but the grounds and most galleries are free.
