Their tops form arcs reminiscent of those found in cathedrals. Several watercolours by Michel Jean Cazabon (b.1813 d.1888), Trinidad’s great nineteenth century artist and National Hero, were painted on this trace, now known as Cazabon Trail. The “Cathedral” has remained the same for over 150 years.
