The largest island of the Channel Islands — reflects a rich mixture of British, French, and Norman influences, due to its geographical position and complex history. The center of St. Helier, the capital, showcases many buildings with Victorian and Edwardian facades, often made of stone or brick, with elaborate decorations and sash windows. Some public buildings reflect the influence of neoclassical architecture. In recent decades, new residential and office complexes in contemporary style, often in glass and steel, have emerged, especially along the St. Helier marina.
