"Hike around the ruins of Morne Fortune ("good luck hill"), a former military outpostoverlooking the harbor it was meant to protect. The sitewas hardly good luck during the 18th century: Several bloody battles between the French and the British took place here. The remaining structures on Morne includeguard cells and a powder magazine, thebuilding used to store gunpowder and ammunition, as well as French and British burial grounds. At the top of the hill, neara memorial to the British infantryregiment that captured Morne Fortune in 1796, you'll finda great spotfor a panoramic view over Castries and its harbor."
