The capital and principal port of Mauritius occupies a natural harbour on the northwestern coast backed by a semicircle of mountains including the Moka Range. The city's Central Market is a colonial-era structure selling spices, street food, and local produce that encapsulates the island's multicultural character. The Caudan Waterfront development and the nearby Champ de Mars racecourse — one of the oldest horse-racing venues in the Southern Hemisphere — anchor the city's urban life.
