Belize City - A Bit of History

With a population of more than 70,000 Belize City is, today, the largest city in Belize and is also the financial and economic capital. However, Belize's largest city is no longer the judicial capital which was moved to Belmopan after hurricane Hattie in 1961 almost completely destroyed the city.

There are three bridges that connect the north and south sides of Belize City: the Bel-Canada, the Bel-China, and the Swing Bridge. The Bel-Canada and Bel-China bridges get their names from the countries that gave money for their construction. The Swing Bridge is the only manually operated "Swinging Bridge" left in the world that still swings.

Belize City is the gateway to Belize's historical and cultural points. There are four major highways in Belize: Southern, Humming Bird, Western and Northern. Two of these highways connect with Belize City: the Western and the Northern. The only international airport in Belize is about 8.5 miles north of Belize City. However, there are many grasses, dirt and paved runways scattered about the country. There is a new Carnival Cruise terminal on the south side of the city which will be capable of holding up to 4 cruise ships when finished.

There are many historical buildings to see in Belize City such as the old Anglican church, the oldest church of its kind in Central America, as well as the old Governors Mansion, which is now a museum. The Belize Museum, also known as the National Institute of Culture and History, is a wonderful place to learn about Belize's rich cultural history.

There are so many activities to do in Crystal Paradise Resort, from scuba diving and snorkeling to zip lining and visiting Mayan ruins one will not get bored, plus just relaxing in the gorgeous pool and swimming up to the bar isn't a bad way to live either.
