Capital is Saint Peter’s Port. Is an active
harbor since Roman times with privateers, merchants and, more recently, vacationers
dropping anchor here. Victor Hugo found inspiration here, writing several of
his most important works in his seafront home.
A typical example of Georgian architecture that dominates
the old city is the ancient fortress, Castle Cornet, which stands in a
prominent position at the entrance of the harbor.
The group of islands Guernsey, are self belonging to the
British Commonwealth. The islands are governed by small local councils in each
island. They have their own flag and local currency but use for their trades
also British pounds.
