Fort Frederick

Richmond Hill, St. George’s, Grenada

---

Fort Frederick, perched atop Richmond Hill overlooking St. George's Harbour in Grenada, was constructed by the French in 1779 and completed by the British in 1783 as a bastion fort to defend the eastern harbor entrance, though it never fired a shot in battle despite its strategic role in colonial conflicts.

This well-preserved site features multiple levels including powder magazines, gun batteries, water cisterns, and underground tunnels for storage, offering visitors 360-degree panoramic views of the harbor, Caribbean Sea, and rolling hills.

Later used during the 1979 Grenada Revolution as a military headquarters, it now serves as a popular attraction with a small entry fee, historical plaques, and photo opportunities amid its rugged stone walls and cannons.
