Fort Charlotte

A small tour bus tour was parked here. This concrete-walled fortress is situated on a hill overlooking the cruise ship port. The passage is narrow and steep, packed with tourists and vendors. The driver needs to watch out because the tourists are not. Entrance fee to enter fortress is small ($3). But I decided to walk around the area and visit many shops and handicrafts. The local timber worker was very talented and he would personalize any purchase. In a small neighbouring building there is a bathroom and a very small area where you can buy drinks and snacks. Free parking is available around the fort, the fare is high and driving is the most difficult.

The castle is the oldest building in the Bahamas, the entire castle has a history of decades, even hundreds of years, in the castle's interior full of maze, here to walk and tour must pay attention to the route and pay attention to the time.

The largest and oldest castle in the Bahamas, Charlotte Castle is a great place to experience adventure, strolling along the terraced steps and seeing sculptures on walls and designs in the castle.

Charlotte Fort is on Chippenham Road (ChippenhamRoad) on West Bay Street (WestBayStreet) in Nassau. It is the largest fortress in the Bahamas. It was built in 1787 and completed in 1819. It was originally free, but now it is charged. Fortunately, it only charges 1.08 dollars/person. There is a guide at the door to take you to visit, anyway, we do not understand, the guide accompanied you both prudish and to pay a tip, declined. The castle was built by the Governor, Lord Dunmore, as a stronghold of colonial British forces against pirate invasion, condescending to guard the western harbour entrance under the city. The castle was equipped with 42 cannons, the display of ancient artillery, and the mouth of the guns still pointed to the port. The castle is composed of three fortifications, with a moat outside, surrounded by a suspension bridge, underground caves, passages and vaults. There are many tourist minibuses parked at the entrance of the castle. They are all guests on the cruise ship. Looking at the cruise terminal, there are actually four large cruise ships docked there. The small vendor business on the edge of the parking lot is better than the castle, maybe everyone thinks the castle is nothing to look at.

Charlotte Fort is a very important castle structure, the whole building is a defensive place, the castle structure is also very unique, you can see a lot of interesting things, some huge stone pillars are also very grand oh. [View] The whole surrounding landscape is good
