Paranan, Suriname: Industrial and Mining Town on the Suriname River
Paramaribo is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Suriname, situated on the west bank of the Lower Suriname River and bordering the Atlantic Ocean. As the political, economic and cultural center of the country, Paramaribo is known for its distinctive colonial architecture, and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town, with its Dutch colonial wooden buildings and tropical landscape. The city is Suriname's industrial hub, with bauxite mining, processing and agricultural trade as the mainstays of the economy, and a well-established port that handles most of the country's imports and exports. The city is a multicultural city with a predominantly Indian, Creole, Javanese and European population, with Dutch as the official language and Surinamese as the lingua franca, and a hot and humid climate with an average annual temperature of about 27°C. It is one of the few capital cities in South America where Dutch is the official language.
