Royal Square
The Central Market was built in 1881-82 to celebrate the centenary of the Battle of Jersey. Its granite exterior walls enclose some 33,600 sq feet. 37 cast iron pillars hold up an octagonal transparent roof. There are seven iron gates topped with colorful designs. At the center of the market is another colorful element - - a 15-foot high fountain with three tiers.
Still in active use, the market stalls sell food and other items. |

Parish Hall
The Parish Hall (or Town Hall) is the seat of St. Helier's local government. Built in 1872 in the French Imperial style, the grand Parish Assembly room is impressive. The hall also houses an art collection. The building is not usually open to visitors but visits can be requested.
