Fort Fincastle

Relive the adventure of old Nassau by visiting Fort Charlotte, Fort Fincastle, and Fort Montagu, all built during the 18th century to protect The Bahamas from enemies and threats. Fort Charlotte is the largest one approximately 100 acres. It was. built on a hill overlooking the far west end of the harbor, commanding an impressive view of Paradise Island, Nassau, and the harbor. The fort still has a moat, dungeons, underground passageways, and 42 cannons, which have never been fired in an act of aggression. Tours are available daily but during Wednesday and Friday, starting at 11:30 a.m., a living historical scene lets you step back in time and experience daily life in 18th-century Nassau. It features characters dressed in period costumes, who exhibit basketweaving techniques, kitchen utensils used over 250 years ago, and fruits sold at the market. It culminates with the firing of the cannon at noon. Choose your Pirates Adventure and imagine what the battle was like.
