"Blackbeard's Castle and the 99 Steps Yo, ho, ho and oh, my! Up on Government Hill, this watchtower, built circa 1678, isknown as Blackbeard's Castleandis literally the stuff of legends. Although it's open for debate whether the notoriouspirate ever used the five-story tower as a lookout, one thing is for certain: Its views are tops. Nearby the flower-lined 99 Steps (technically there are 103), built in the 18th century of ship-ballast brick, lead from historic Kongens Quarter to some more terrific views of the island."
