Embassy of the United States Belmopan, Belize

New Embassy Building

On December 11, 2006, the Embassy of the United States of America moved from Belize City and officially opened in Belmopan.

To mark the occasion, Director of Overseas Buildings Operations Charles E. Williams visited Belmopan to inaugurate the new facility. In addition, the 156th Army Band of the Louisiana National Guard deployed outside the United States for the first time to perform for this ceremony.

The new Embassy was designed and built as a state-of-the-art facility on a 10-acre site in the capital city of Belmopan. It was designed to fit with the natural setting and to complement the natural beauty of the area.

In addition, the art collection (PDF 7MB) in U.S. Embassy, courtesy of the Art in Embassies program,was selected to celebrate the diversity and beauty of nature - both of the United States of America and Belize.
