HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Fort Charles.
The site preserves ruins of the fort's stone walls, gun platforms, and cannon emplacements above Nevis's coastline, with much of the original structure reduced to foundations and low standing walls. It is maintained as a heritage site in Nevis under local historical preservation authorities. The ruins lie in open ground and are freely accessible to visitors.
About Fort Charles
British colonial authorities built Fort Charles on Nevis in the late seventeenth century to defend the harbor at Charlestown and the island's sugar plantations. Its cannons guarded the harbor approach during conflicts between Britain and France in the region. The fort formed part of a chain of coastal defenses protecting Nevis's colonial trade.
