03 Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park

It’s quite impressive for such a small country to boast a UNESCO World Heritage Site. But this unique locale is a well-preserved and intact example of 17th- and 18th-century military architecture. It is not only an example of European expansion into the Caribbean, but also a historical reminder of African slave-trade labor. A fort stands atop the 800-foot-high Brimstone Hill, a double-peaked hill overlooking the coastline. From the top, enjoy panoramic views of lush green forests, cultivated fields, and nearby towns that surround the site.
