The Battery, Historic seawall and promenade in Charleston, United States
The Battery stretches along the Charleston peninsula where the Ashley and Cooper Rivers meet to form Charleston Harbor, featuring a fortified stone wall.
Constructed in the 1750s using large boulders and masonry, this strategic defense point originated from Broughton's Battery, built in 1737 for coastal protection.
White Point Garden within The Battery displays Civil War cannons, monuments, and statues beneath ancient oak trees along oyster-shell covered paths.
Located at East Battery and Murray Boulevard, the elevated promenade offers direct views of Fort Sumter, Castle Pinckney, and Sullivan's Island Lighthouse.
The Williams Music Pavilion, constructed in 1907, stands in the center of White Point Garden and serves as a location for events.
