Levuka Historical Port Town
First Colonial capital of Fiji, rare exemaple of a late colonial port town
Inscribed in 2013
Site got badly damage during cyclone Winston in March 2016 (buildings destroyed or damaged, flooding, seawall damaged, trees gone or broken, etc), I visited this site in early April 2016
Levuka Historical Port Town:
The town and its low line of buildings set among coconut and mango trees along the beach front was the first colonial capital of Fiji, ceded to the British in 1874.
It developed from the early 19th century as a centre of commercial activity by Americans and Europeans who built warehouses, stores, port facilities, residences, and religious, educational and social institutions around the villages of the South Pacific island’s indigenous population.
It is a rare example of a late colonial port town that was influenced in its development by the indigenous community which continued to outnumber the European settlers.
Thus the town, an outstanding example of late 19th century Pacific port settlements, reflects the integration of local building traditions by a supreme naval power, leading to the emergence of a unique landscape.
Ville portuaire historique de Levuka:
La ville, avec sa ligne basse de bâtiments au milieu des cocotiers et des manguiers du bord de mer, a été la première capitale coloniale des Fidji, cédée aux Britanniques en 1874. Elle a prospéré à partir du début du XIXe siècle en tant que centre des activités commerciales de colons européens et américains qui ont construit entrepôts, édifices commerciaux, installations portuaires, résidences et institutions religieuses, éducatives et sociales autour des villages de la population autochtone. C’est un exemple rare d’une ville portuaire tardive, dont le développement a été influencé par la communauté autochtone qui a toujours été plus importante en nombre que les colons européens. La ville, exemple remarquable d’installation portuaire coloniale dans le Pacifique, reflète l’intégration des traditions locales de construction par une superpuissance navale, ce qui a débouché sur un paysage unique.
レブカ歴史的港町
南太平洋地域の植民地都市の代表。フィジーのオバラウ島にある港町レブカは、ヨーロッパやアメリカからの植民者が住み始めた1820年代以降、重要な交易拠点として発展し、1874年にイギリスの植民地フィジーの最初の首都となった。コロニアル風の役所や税関、教会、会社、商店など、木造1階あるいは2階建ての建築が並ぶ町並みには、南太平洋地域の19世紀植民地都市の、発展段階の特徴が見られる。地元の伝統とヨーロッパの植民地制度が融合した港町は、19世紀ヨーロッパが世界に進出していった時代の、太平洋地域における文化交流の証しである。
Historische havenstad Levuka:
Levuka met zijn laagbouw en gelegen tussen kokosnoot- en mangobomen, was de eerste koloniale hoofdstad van Fiji, afgestaan aan de Britten in 1874. Vanaf het begin van de 19e eeuw ontwikkelde de stad zich tot een commercieel centrum waar Amerikanen en Europeanen pakhuizen, winkels, havenfaciliteiten, residenties, religieuze, educatieve en maatschappelijke instellingen bouwden rond de dorpen van de inheemse bevolking van het Zuid-Pacifische eiland. Levuka is een zeldzaam voorbeeld van een laat-koloniale havenstad die in zijn ontwikkeling werd beïnvloed door de inheemse gemeenschap. De oorspronkelijke bevolking bleef de Europese kolonisten in aantal overtreffen waardoor de stad de integratie laat zien van lokale bouwtradities.
