Charlotte Amalie Historic District, Colonial historic district in Charlotte Amalie, US Virgin Islands.

The district spans 165 acres along St. Thomas Harbor, containing 574 buildings that showcase Greek Revival and Federal architectural designs.

Fort Christian, constructed between 1666 and 1680, stands as the first European structure in this district established by Danish settlers.

Emancipation Park within the district commemorates the 1848 liberation of enslaved people and represents a central point for community gatherings.

The district provides numerous walking paths connecting historical landmarks, with guided tours available from the visitor center near the harbor.

The 99 Steps, built in the 1700s using ballast bricks from Danish ships, connect the waterfront to higher residential areas.
