Roseau is the capital of which country?

Roseau is the capital of Dominica, the mountainous Caribbean island nation sometimes called the “Nature Island.”

The city lies on Dominica’s southwest coast beside the Caribbean Sea and near the mouth of the Roseau River. Its name comes from the French word for reeds, reflecting the vegetation that once grew along the river. Roseau developed around an earlier French settlement and retains a mixture of Caribbean, French, and British colonial influences.

Roseau is Dominica’s largest urban centre and the country’s main administrative, commercial, and cultural hub. Important landmarks include the Botanical Gardens, the Old Market, the Cathedral of Our Lady of Fair Haven, and the Dominica Museum. The city is also a common starting point for visitors exploring Dominica’s rainforests, volcanic landscapes, and waterfalls.

A frequent mix-up is confusing Dominica with the Dominican Republic. Dominica is an independent island country in the Lesser Antilles, while the Dominican Republic occupies the eastern part of the island of Hispaniola. Roseau is the capital of the former.
