- Major Attractions Saint Barthélemy is an overseas collectivity of France. To the northwest lies St. Martin, to the southwest Saba, to the south St. Eustatius and St. Kitts, and ultimately to the southeast Barbuda. It is the only Caribbean island to have historically been a Swedish colony. The Swedish influence can still be found in architecture and street names. The language, cuisine, and culture are distinctly French. Set in the historic North Wing of St Bartholomew’s Hospital, the Musée Municipal de Saint-Barth tells the story of this renowned institution, celebrates its achievements, and explains its place in history. There are very few buildings of historic interest left in town because of the damage wrought by a hurricane and then a fire in 1852. However, the Swedish Clock Tower is still there today.
