Battery Point, Historic maritime district in Hobart, Australia
Battery Point features colonial-era cottages, sandstone buildings, and narrow streets that extend south from Hobart's central business district to the Derwent River.
The district received its name from the gun battery installed in 1818 at Princes Park, which formed part of Hobart's coastal defense system until 1878.
The Narryna Heritage Museum, established in an 1836 merchant's house, displays colonial furniture and documents the maritime history of early Tasmania.
Visitors can reach Battery Point through Hampden Road, which contains numerous cafes, restaurants, antique stores, and accommodation options in restored historic buildings.
Arthur Circus presents a complete circle of original 1840s cottages, constructed specifically for naval officers stationed at the battery.
