San Fernando
Trinidad and Tobago's self-styled "industrial capital," San Fernando sits on the Gulf of Paria in the island's southwest, its compact centre holding a concentration of historic churches, cafés, and restaurants. The city's proximity to the Pointe-à-Pierre oil refinery and the petrochemical and steel facilities at Point Lisas gives it a working industrial character alongside its waterfront setting and hilly terrain.
