Castries /kəˈstriːz/ (audio speaker iconlisten) is the capital and largest city of Saint Lucia, an island country in the Caribbean. The urban area had the population of approximately 20,000, while the eponymous district had a population of 70,000 on 22 May 2013. The city stretches over an area of 80 km2 (31 sq mi).[4][5][6]

Castries is in a flood plain and is built on reclaimed land. It houses the seat of government and the head offices of many foreign and local businesses. The city is laid out in a grid pattern. Its sheltered harbour receives cargo vessels, ferry boats, and cruise ships. It houses duty-free shopping facilities such as Point Seraphine and La Place Carenage. The city is well served by a bus system and taxi service. St Lucia's main post office is in Castries.

Castries is the birthplace of Arthur Lewis, winner of the 1979 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, as well as of Derek Walcott, winner of the 1992 Nobel Prize for Literature.
