Suva es la capital de Fiyi. Está localizada en la costa sureste de la isla de Viti Levu, en la división de Fiyi Central, de la cual también es la capital. Suva se convirtió en la capital oficial de Fiyi en 1877 cuando la geografía de Kaivalagi, un antiguo asentamiento europeo en Levuka en la isla de Ovalau, se volvió muy restringida. En el censo de 1996, la ciudad de Suva tenía una población de 77.366 habitantes. En el censo de 2007 había pasado a 85.691. Incluyendo los suburbios independientes, la población del área urbana de Suva del Norte era de 173.399 en el mismo censo.

(For other uses, see Suva (disambiguation).) Suva is the capital and the second most populated municipality of Fiji, after Nasinu. It is on the southeast coast of the island of Viti Levu, in the Rewa Province, Central Division. Suva is Fiji's political and administrative capital. It is the largest and most cosmopolitan city in the southern Pacific Ocean and has become an important regional centre. Students from the Pacific region and a growing expatriate community make up a significant portion of the city's population. According to the Authority of Local Government Act, Suva is governed and administratively looked after by the Suva City Council. In 1877, it was decided to make Suva the capital of Fiji, as the geography of former main European settlement at Levuka on the island of Ovalau proved too restrictive. The administration of the colony was moved from Levuka to Suva in 1882. At the 2007 census, the city of Suva had a population of 85,691. Including independent suburbs, the population of the Greater Suva urban area was 172,399 at the 2007 census. Suva, along with the bordering cities of Lami, Nasinu, and Nausori have a total urban population of around 330,000, over a third of the nation's population. This urban complex (not including Lami) is known also as the Suva–Nausori corridor.
