FORT CHARLOTTE

Fort Charlotte is the largest fort in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Completed in 1806, the Fort stands on a ridge 600 feet above sea level, giving a magnificent view across Kingstown and down the Grenadines.

The cells of the Fort display an interesting collection of Lindsay Prescott paintings, which depict various aspects of the original Garifuna history.

A particularly enjoyable time to visit the Fort is at dusk, when the sun paints the sky with shades of orange, red and yellow.

Fort Charlotte was garrisoned until 1873 when the troops were withdrawn from the island.

Originally, the Fort had 34 guns. Today, only five guns remain – all directed inland. The citadel is used as a signal station.
Fort Charlotte is located approximately two miles from Kingstown and driving time is twenty minutes.
