The House of culture is the official museum of Corozal town. In 1886, it was originally built as the Municipal Market. Now, it's a museum that holds art pieces from artists all over Corozal. It hosts cultural events monthly. The House of Culture is located infant of the Corozal bay near the Methodist and Xavior schools. It is open from Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm.
Corozal Central Park
The park is an important landmark in Corozal because it has been around since 1965. Central Park is located on 1st street south, Corozal town. The park is historic because before the park was created, it was used a camp for people who lost their homes to hurricane Janet in 1955. The landmark was created by Santiago Ricalde and his town councillors. Up to today the park still looks in great condition and hosts an art fair called Art in the Park every end of month.
Fort Barlee
The remains of Fort Barlee still remains in the centre of town. It's located near the Central Park which means that you can see it whenever you're passing through town. Fort Barlee was constructed by Governor Frederick Palgrave Barlee in early 1870. It was built for protection from the Icaiche Maya. Fort Barlee is strong enough to snap tree branches and blow away items and weak roofing. Truly Amazing!
