In the 1700s a couple buildings were built in the capital of Basseterre. St. George's Church was built and re-built a number of times by both the French and British (1600s and 1700s), but was eventually destroyed, leading to the construction of today's New Church or St. George's Church, which was built on the foundation of the older churches in the late 1800s.
Although modern building materials and techniques have been brought to St. Kitts & Nevis, the islands have not begun to build large skyscrapers or outrageously unique modern buildings. Most of the country's current buildings are built from this newer technology, including Basseterre's Co-Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, but the people have not yet decided to create buildings that stand out.
