Fort Charlotte, British colonial fort in Saint George Parish, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Fort Charlotte stands 601 feet above sea level on a hilltop, providing clear views of Kingstown harbor and the surrounding Grenadine islands.
The British constructed Fort Charlotte between 1763 and 1806, following their victory over French forces, to defend against both maritime and inland threats.
The fort exhibits a collection of murals depicting the conflicts with indigenous Caribs, while its barracks now house a museum about Garifuna history.
Visitors can reach the fort through a 40-minute uphill walk from Kingstown or take a bus to Edinboro followed by a 10-minute walk.
The fort's cannons point inland rather than toward the sea, reflecting its primary purpose of defending against land-based attacks from Caribs and potential slave uprisings.
