Cesar Castellani

Cesar Castellani (died 2 August 1905) was an architect born in the Crown Colony of Malta; he emigrated to British Guiana in 1860, ^[1] where he designed buildings such as the Brickdam Cathedral; Castellani House, ^{[2] [3]} the Brickdam Police Station; ^[4] the New Amsterdam Public Hospital, ^[1] the Church of the Sacred Heart on Main Street (1872-1882), ^[1] and parts of the eastern wing of the Parliament Building. ^[5] Cesar Castellani died in Georgetown, British Guiana on 2 August 1905. ^[1]

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. ^[6]
