Port Stanley, Falkland Islands

Port Stanley (Stanley) is the capital and only true city in the Falkland Islands. It is located on the isle of East Falkland, on a north-facing slope, south of Stanley Harbour, in one of the wettest parts of the islands. Stanley is known for its brightly painted corrugated iron roofs, which are visible from the harbour.

Stanley is the main shopping centre on the islands and the hub of East Falkland's road network. Attractions include the Falkland Islands Museum, Government House, built in 1845 and home to the Governor of the Falkland Islands (currently Alan Huckle), Christ Church Cathedral, and is known for its whalebone arch, a totem pole, several war memorials and the shipwrecks in its harbour.
