HISTORIC PRESERVATION at Morne Fortune.
Fortification remains survive in varying states, including sections of Fort Charlotte's walls, batteries, powder magazines, and barrack buildings, some now repurposed for other uses rather than preserved as ruins. The site sits on government land and is cared for by Saint Lucian heritage authorities, with several buildings occupied by an educational institution. The grounds and remaining fortifications are freely accessible to the public, though some buildings in active use are not open.
About Morne Fortune
Morne Fortune was fortified in the eighteenth century as French and British forces repeatedly contested control of Saint Lucia's harbor at Castries. The hill changed hands several times during the colonial wars, and the British later built Fort Charlotte on its heights. It served as a strategic military stronghold guarding one of the Caribbean's key ports.
