Fort Charles is a historic military fort built in the late 17th century during the English colonial period in Jamaica.
It was named after King Charles II of England and was constructed to protect the bustling port and safeguard English interests in the Caribbean. The fort was designed in the shape of a rough square with angular bastions at each corner which allowed for a wide field of fire and optimal defense against potential attackers.
Port Royal was a notorious haven for pirates during the late 17th century, and Fort Charles played a crucial role in keeping order in the region. Fort Charles was partially damaged by the earthquake of 1692 but subsequently rebuilt.
Today, one can step back in time and see what’s left of the fort and its cannons for a small cost. They’ve also added a small but informative museum.
