Torarica


Torarica is the original capital of Suriname. It was settled by Portuguese Jews in 1629. One origin offered for its name is as a Portuguese coinage meaning "Opulent Torah". The Portuguese Jews arrived via Holland and Brazil. The name Torarica is still in use by the Torarica Group and two of its hotels: Royal Torarica and Torarica Hotel & Casino.
