Created by Italian artist Lorenzo Appiani, the Bicentennial Monument was erected in 1978 in honor of the 200th anniversary of the town of Victoria, which was founded in 1778 by French settler Charles Routier de Romainville. The three large pairs of graceful white wings are meant to represent the origins of the people of the Seychelles, who have their roots in three continents: Asia, Europe, and Africa. The monument sits in the middle of the roundabout at Independence Avenue and 5th June Avenue, making it easily accessible either by car or by foot. Bicentennial Monument
