Plymouth (Montserrat)

Plymouth is the capital of the British overseas territory of Montserrat. After a series of eruptions of the volcano Soufriere Hills, which began on 18 July 1995 escaped much of the 3,500 inhabitants of the city. 1997 almost completely destroyed Plymouth was officially abandoned.

The government buildings have since been located in Brades, although Plymouth still officially the capital, since no new capital was determined. Currently, a new capital is being built in Little Bay.
