Excellent views
The city of Castries is located in Bananes Bay , at the foot of Morne Fortune hill (known as the "Hill of Good Luck"). A narrow, winding road runs from the port through a lush green landscape dotted with colourful houses leading to the crest of the hill, 845 meters above sea level. There's a large open area where the British government wanted to build a naval and military station during the time it occupied the island (1803-1844), snatching it from the French.
There are ruins of abandoned and overgrown stone and brick buildings, as well as the gun batteries of Fort Charlotte. It offers excellent views of the bay and the city.
