Fort Charles, Colonial fort in Sandy Point, Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Fort Charles extends across 4.2 acres of land with five bastions and a defensive ditch surrounding the fortification structures.
Built around 1674 during the Second Anglo-Dutch War, the fort protected Sandy Point, the main English trading port at that time.
The fort housed 27 cannons in 1724 and contained multiple facilities including a storehouse, guardhouse, barracks, prison, arsenal, and kitchens.
The St. Christopher National Trust manages the fort through the Brimstone Hill Society and National Park, offering guided tours to visitors.
The fort later served as a medical facility with a dedicated polling station after the introduction of universal suffrage in 1952.
