A country comprised of six ethnic groups, several religions, diversified colonization and influences from mainland South America and the Caribbean, Guyana is a nation of rich culture. A vast majority of Guyana’s historic architecture is reflective of the country’s British colonial past. St. George’s Cathedral, an Anglican church in Georgetown, was once the tallest wooden church in the world, at 43.5 meters (143 feet). It was designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield and opened on August 24, 1892. Guyanese cuisine is also unique; the food embodies the ethnic makeup of the country and its colonial history, which includes an array of Amerindian, European, African, East Indian, Portuguese and Chinese dishes.
