Levuka - things to do
Take a stroll along the main road of Levuka and you feel yourself moved back to an other era of time. There are many sites and buildings of historical interest.
The historical buildings are in typical British Colonial style, such as Sacred Heart Church and Navoka Methodist Church both built in the 1860s, the museum and the library, the Town Hall built 1898, St. John's College, Marist Convent School, and the Ovalau Club.
The Cession Site, where the Deed of Cession was signed, Niukaube Hill (the former location of Ratu Seru Cakobau's court and parliament house), Bishop's Tomb (where Fiji's first and second Roman Catholic bishops are entombed), are more places of historical interest.

Go to the Levuka Community Centre and get a Levuka brochure, it has a town map and important info. The staff at the centre can explain about tours and day trips.
