Cesar Castellani


Cesar Castellani was an architect born in the Crown Colony of Malta; he emigrated to British Guiana in 1860, where he designed buildings such as the Brickdam Cathedral; Castellani House, the Brickdam Police Station; the New Amsterdam Public Hospital, the Church of the Sacred Heart on Main Street, and parts of the eastern wing of the Parliament Building. Cesar Castellani died in Georgetown, British Guiana on 2 August 1905.
The design of the Victoria Law Courts, credited to Baron Harco Theodor Hora Siccama, is reminiscent of Castellani's, and Castellani was working for Siccama as a draughtsman.
