Location
Located immediately west of the airport at the end of a long, narrow peninsula that stretches across Kingston Harbour, lies Port Royal's principal historical feature, Fort Charles. Follow the Norman Manley Highway to the tip of the peninsula in order to arrive there.
Between 1650 and 1660, Fort Charles was the first fort constructed in the city of Port Royal. After taking the island from the Spanish, the English erected the fort to protect their newfound possession. The lined cannon arrangement on the fort's outer wall is unchanged to this day. Inside the fort is now a small museum as well.
An artillery storehouse on the property is known as the Giddy House because an additional earthquake in 1907 caused it to twist sideways.
