Fort Charles (Jamaica)
Fort Charles was built between 1650 and 1660, the first fort constructed in Port Royal, Jamaica.[1]
History
The fort was originally called Fort Cromwell but subsequently renamed.[1]
In 1667 it had 36 guns while in 1765 it had 104 guns and a garrison of 500 men.[1]
It was damaged by both the 1692 Jamaica earthquake and the 1907 Kingston earthquake which later resulted in the tilting of the Giddy House, now a minor tourist attraction.
