The Fortress, constructed intermittently between the 1690s and 1790s, is of singular importance as being the remains of a large, complete military community of the 18th century. As such, it is a veritable time capsule of international significance. The prominent Citadel is one of the earliest and finest surviving examples of a new style of fortification known as the 'polygonal system'. Brimstone Hill is nearly 800 feet high with steep and precipitous slopes which had to be tamed by the disciplines of engineering and architecture, and at the risk and probable loss of human lives. The walls of the structures are predominantly of stone, labouriously and skilfully fashioned from the hard volcanic rock of which the hill is composed. The mortar to cement the stones was produced on site from the limestone which covers much of the middle and lower slopes. The Fortress is virtually a man-made out growth of the natural hill. The physical location of the Fortress presents attractive panoramic vistas of forested mountains, cultivated fields, the historical township of Sandy Point, and neighbouring Dutch, English and French islands across the Caribbean Sea.

Black Rocks ,also referred to as Black Stone, is the name of a notable rock formation on the northeastern coast of the island of Saint Kitts. Located close to the town of Saddlers, the rocks consist of lava flow from the volcanic Mount Liamuiga which dominates the northern half of the island of Saint Kitts

Set in approximately 8 acres, these grounds have considerable history dating back to the 1600s. Prior to the island's European conquest, which began in 1623, there is strong evidence that Carib Indian Chief Tegreman’s village occupied the site. Petroglyphs located on the Wingfield Estate attest to the presence of Amerindians at some point during the property's history. Most of the activity on the property, has been growing & distilling sugar cane. Over the years, its owners have witnessed the crushing of cane by animal, water, and steam power. This all changed in the 1920s as the cane processing became centralized in the nation's capital, Basseterre. The Wingfield Estate grew, harvested, and loaded sugar cane until the mid-2000s, that's 350 years! Romney Manor became a batik enterprise in the 1970s under the tutelage of its current owner. Wingfield Estate began its transition to the beautiful gardens and active archeological site it is today in the 2000s, when the St. Kitts government discontinued all sugar cane operations on the island. Many visitors frequently express a sense of spirituality while enjoying the gardens and grounds. An all-time favourite is our magnificent Saman tree, the largest living organism in St. Kitts. It is over 400 years old, 24 ft in circumference, and covers ½ acre. Just imagine the stories it could tell. Many visitors return time and time again to savour this memorable experience. The present owner feels more a sense of stewardship than ownership, recognizing the magnificent Saman tree as the true owner of all it surveys.

Le mémorial de Berkeley fut érigé en 1883 et fut longtemps le seul monument public commémorant un individu à Saint-Kitts. Il fut dédié à la mémoire de Thomas Berkeley Hardtman Berkeley, législateur et propriétaire des domaines de Fountain, Greenland, Greenhill, Ottleys, Shadwell et Stone Fort.

THE WAR MEMORIAL was originally unveiled in 1926 at the place now occupied by the Post Office. It honoured the men who died in the First World War.

Timothy Hill est un point de vue populaire situé à proximité de Frigate Beach. Il offre une vue imprenable sur l'océan Atlantique scintillant, là où il rejoint la mer des Caraïbes. Depuis ces deux étendues d'eau, vous pourrez admirer une végétation luxuriante et les douces collines de la péninsule sud-est de Saint-Kitts. Vous pourrez même apercevoir l'île voisine de Nevis au loin.

Wingfield Estate is adjacent to Wingfield River in a lush rainforest located in Old Road Town, St. Kitts. The estate is set in the picturesque foothills of the island’s central mountain range, with elevations over 3000 ft. One of the unique aspects of this area is the Wingfield watershed. This is a natural resource that covers hundreds of acres, depositing water into Wingfield River. The watershed provides the island with more than ¾ of the island's water requirement. Wingfield Estate is one of four places on St. Kitts that has 17th century Amerindian petroglyphs (a carving or inscription on a rock). The petroglyphs of Wingfield Estate are considered to be amongst one of the finest examples of rock carvings in the Lesser Antilles, and on St. Kitts they are one of the most accessible. Local folklore states that Carib Chief Tegreman, a powerful Amerindian chief who ruled several islands, had his village within the grounds of Romney Manor. Wingfield was the first land grant in the English West Indies in 1625. The property's original crops were tobacco & indigo, dating from 1625 to the 1650s. Sugar cane became more profitable and was continuously grown on the site for 350 years, from the 1650s to the mid-2000s. The sugar industry functioned over the centuries using, in order: animal-driven, water-driven, and eventually steam-driven methods of crushing the cane. Water power was used from the 1600s to 1920s, with aqueducts and a water turbine unique in the Eastern Caribbean.

Bloody Point est situé à l'ouest de Challengers Village. Son nom vient du massacre des Kalinagos qui a eu lieu dans les environs.

CO-CATHEDRAL OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION is an ornate church constructed out of grey stone and located on the eastern side of Independence Square. In the early years of the French occupation of St. Kitts, the Jesuits had build a Roman Catholic Church and dedicated it to Our Lady. Notre Dame was burned in 1706 during the Anglo-French war and rebuilt later as St. Georges Anglican Church. The catholic congregation in St. Kitts diminished drastically in the years following the Treaty of Utrecht. In 1713 the English forbade public worship of the Catholic religion in St. Kitts. Wealthy Catholic families erected cupolas on the tops of their houses as a sign for other catholics to come and worship. Only two such buildings remain in Basseterre both on Liverpool Row.

L'église anglicane Saint-Georges est la plus grande église de Basseterre. Elle se dresse au début de Church Street et ressemble à une église paroissiale anglaise. Ses murs extérieurs sont en andésite lourde et son toit est recouvert d'ardoise. Comme beaucoup d'édifices de Basseterre, cette église a connu des hauts et des bas, renaissant souvent de ses cendres tel le mythique Phénix. En 1635, à la demande des directeurs de la Compagnie des Îles d'Amérique, le provincial des frères capucins de Normandie chargea trois hommes, les pères Jérôme, Marc et Pacifique de Provins, de s'occuper des besoins spirituels des colons français de Saint-Christophe et de tenter de convertir la petite population kalinago restée sur l'île après le massacre de 1627. À Basseterre, ils érigèrent un lieu de culte que Rochefort décrit comme une belle église capable d'accueillir une très grande congrégation : la structure est en bois, élevée sur des fondations en pierre de taille ; au lieu de vitraux, on ne trouve que des piliers tournés, à la manière d'un balcon. Elle est recouverte d'ardoise rouge. Les frères possédaient également des églises à Cayon et à Capisterre, mais en 1646, le gouverneur de Poincy, estimant qu'ils prenaient parti contre lui, leur ordonna de quitter la colonie. Il les remplaça par les Jésuites. En 1672, ils construisirent une église qu'ils baptisèrent Notre-Dame.

NDEPENDENCE SQUARE formerly Pall Mall Square, was renamed on the 19th September 1983 to commemorate the birth of the new nation of St. Christopher and Nevis. It is located on the eastern side of Basseterre bordering on Newtown. Its layout was designed to look like a Union Jack and the streets and houses surrounding it once dated to the mid-eighteenth century. Unfortunately, time and environmental damage have destroyed many of them. Some like the Court House and Public Library have been destroyed by fire and have been rebuilt.
