Levuka, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Fiji, is a historic port town founded in the early 19th century, celebrated for its well-preserved colonial architecture and cultural significance. Once Fiji’s first capital under British rule from 1874 to 1882, it features quaint buildings along a beachfront, blending European and indigenous influences. Recognized in 2013, this rare example of a 19th-century Pacific settlement reflects a unique fusion of local traditions and colonial power.
