Rose Hill (Mauritius)

Rose Hill (Mauritius)

Rose-Hill is the third largest town in Mauritius, and is capital of the Lower Plaines Wilhems. It is a major commercial centre, second only to the capital Port Louis.

Rose-Hill came into being at the end of the 18th century when malaria was spreading in Port-Louis. People moved to the higher plains, where the cooler climate kept most mosquitoes away. Rose-Hill and Beau-Bassin became widely populated during this time.

Today, Beau-Bassin/Rose-Hill is a busy town in Mauritius. It is by far the largest residential town in Mauritius inhabited by all ethnic groups. The Catholic school Saint Mary's College is located in Rose-Hill. The main sites of interest are the Balfour Gardens and the Cascadelle View Point. Beau Bassin is home to John Kennedy College.
