Victoria is the capital and largest city of Seychelles, situated on the north-eastern side of Mahé island, the archipelago's main island. The city was first established as the seat of the British colonial government. In 2010, the population of Greater Victoria (including the suburbs) was 26,450 out of the country's total population of 90,945.

The area that would become Victoria was originally settled in 1778 by French colonists after they claimed the island in 1756. The town was called L'Etablissement until 1841 when it was renamed to Victoria by the British, after Queen Victoria.
