Located at the northern tip of St George with spectacular ocean views, Fort St. Catherine is a coastal artillery fort dating back to the 15th century. Located between Achilles Bay and St. Catherine Beach, Fort St. Catherine was built by Bermuda's first governor, Richard Moore, in 1612 to defend Bermuda from Spanish attacks. Originally built from wood, the fort has undergone many renovations, including being rebuilt in stone, and today is one of Bermuda's most impressive structures.
The stone fort houses a museum that features an excellent collection of antique weapons and a gallery of dioramas depicting Bermuda's history in the old artillery store. Surrounded by a dry moat and accessed by a drawbridge, Fort St. Catherine has a network of tunnels, towers, ramparts, and redoubts that can be explored. The fort is open Monday through Friday from 10:00am to 4:00pm and guided tours are available.
