Morne Fortune
On the outskirts to the south of Castries, accessed via Bridge
Street, stands the hill of Morne Fortune, 'Hill of Good Luck',
where some violent battles were waged between the French and
British in the 18th and 19th centuries in their quest to control
the island. The view from the lookout on the hilltop is
magnificent. The hill is also the site of Government House, the
palatial Victorian edifice that is the official residence of the
governor general of the island, with its lovely private gardens.
Visitors can explore the military cemetery, an old battery and
powder museum, and a small museum exhibiting relics from the
island's colonial days.
