Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park

Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is located on the Caribbean island of St Kitts and is one of the best-preserved fortifications in the region. The fortress is a stunning witness to a turbulent past. Its limestone walls still stand tall built atop a volcanic hill and are an impressive sight. Inside this world heritage site, a historical re-enactment depicts stories of battles between the French and the British. Also well-preserved is the social history, as Brimstone Hill Fortress was built, operated, and maintained over a long period of time by African slaves. A hike up to the fortress also provides unforgettable panoramic views of the neighbouring islands. While visiting, visitors can explore the reconstructed colonial buildings, ammunition magazines, barrack blocks, guardhouses, and the impressive citadel, all containing grand history. Brimstone Hill Fortress is certainly a must-see for all visitors to St Kitts and Nevis.
