1. Corozal House of Culture
The architecturally elegant old Corozal Cultural Center, for many years the main Corozal market, was completely renovated and is now the Corozal House of Culture. Located in one of the oldest buildings in northern Belize (other than ancient Maya structures), the House of Culture was built in 1886. It's operated by the National Institute of History and Culture (NICH) as an art gallery and museum devoted to the history of Corozal Town and northern Belize. NICH operates other museums including ones in Belize City, Orange Walk Town, San Pedro, San Ignacio, and Benque Viejo, along with many Maya archaeological sites.

2. Corozal Museum
This tiny one-room museum is the work of Lydia Ramcharam Pollard, a third-generation Indian Belizean, whose grandparents came to Belize as indentured servants in the mid-19th century and worked in the sugarcane and rice fields. Pollard has collected a variety of Corozal historical artifacts, including old domestic household items, sugarcane tools, tortilla-making equipment, and other mestizo pieces, along with some items that represent her family's history.

4. Santa Rita
Not far from Corozal are several Maya sites. The closest, Santa Rita, is a short walk or drive from the town center. It's on a low hill across from the Coca-Cola plant near Corozal Hospital at the north end of town. Only one large temple building has been excavated. The government of Belize designated Santa Rita as an official "Wedding Garden of Belize," and a number of mostly Belizean weddings have been held there. Although there isn't a visitor center yet, a caretaker/guide will show you around and collect the admission fee.
