Fort Victoria, Coastal battery at Retreat Hill, St George's Island, Bermuda.
Fort Victoria stands atop Retreat Hill, featuring defensive structures and gun emplacements overlooking the Northern Lagoon and Hurd's Channel passage.
Built in 1842 on Colonel Edward Fanshawe's recommendation, the fort initially contained eighteen 32-pounder cannons to protect the Royal Naval Dockyard.
The fort represents British colonial military engineering, forming part of the Historic Town of St George and Related Fortifications UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Fort Victoria shares its hilltop location with Fort Albert, both named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert during the British colonial period.
