Suriname is one of the most refreshingly diverse and peaceful counties I have ever visited. The Paramaribo synagogue and mosque are right next to each other (pictured). The church is across the street. Black, white, Indian, Asian, Indonesian, Native American, Latin. All happily living and partying together on New Year's. It was amazing to see most small groups often didn't have more than 2 members of the same race. 🕌🕍⛪🇸🇷 www.nothingdeclared.com

Fort Zeelandia in central Paramaribo!
In 1640 the French built a wooden fort on the spot, which the British took over during their time in Suriname. It was taken by the Dutch in 1667 and renamed Fort Zeelandia 🌳

The historic inner city of Paramaribo is a UNESCO

The historic inner city of Paramaribo is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Paramaribo is a former Dutch colonial town dating from the 17th and 18th centuries planted on the Northeastern coast of tropical South America. Composed of mainly wooden buildings, the plain and symmetrical architectural style illustrating the gradual fusion of Dutch and other European architectural and later North American influences as well as elements from Creole culture, reflects the multi-cultural society of Suriname.
