Come with us to explore our island's oldest neighbourhood, and learn about the early pioneers who helped shape Singapore's future. Step back to a time when CHIJMES was a peaceful oasis, occupied by French nuns dedicated to girls' education and the abandoned babies left to their care. To a time when the La Salle Brothers founded Singapore's earliest Roman Catholic church, next to which Indian convicts built their prison, and when an ambitious Irish architect left his everlasting imprint on this fledgling colony. Discover the rich tapestry of the Waterloo Street arts precinct, a small but vibrant area which is emblematic of Singapore's cultural and religious diversity.Here you'll find a Synagogue, a Roman Catholic church, a Buddhist and a Hindu temple, as well as a calligraphy centre, dance studio, visual arts centre, street art and much more.PLEASE NOTE CONFIRMATION OF THIS TOUR INCLUDING THE EXACT MEETING PLACE ETC WILL BE SENT BY EMAIL TO ALL THOSE REGISTERED ABOUT 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE; THIS WILL BE PRECEDED BY A VERLOCAL MESSAGE TO ALL REGISTERED.
