Victoria, the capital of Seychelles, is also the only port city in Seychelles, located in the northeast corner of Mahe Island. The small dumb clock in the city center is a landmark and the only traffic light intersection in Victoria. A large memorial sculpture emulating three seagulls stands in the city center, said to be a symbol of the Seychelles ancestors who flew over the oceans from Europe, Asia and Africa more than 200 years ago to open the desert island. The capital's most fascinating is the National Botanical Garden, which houses the most expensive plants on the island.
