Queen Victoria Statue

The Queen Victoria Statue is a monument in honour of the British Queen Victoria, who reigned from 1837 to 1901. This period included the time when Mauritius was a British colony. The statue symbolises the important historical heritage and colonial period of the island. The statue is located in front of the Government House in Port Louis, the capital of Mauritius, and is an important part of the architectural and historical character of the city.

The statue commemorates the close ties between Mauritius and Britain for nearly a century and a half. Many architectural and cultural elements in the country still bear the imprint of this time.
