🇺🇸 Fort Karl

Fort Karl is a historic military fort in Gustavia, Saint Barthélemy, built by the Swedish in 1789 and named after Karl XIII. Today, only ruins remain at the site, which is now protected by the Conservatoire du littoral. It’s a popular spot for hiking and whale watching, offering stunning views of Gustavia, Shell Beach, and neighboring islands like Saint Kitts & Nevis. So, if you’re into history, nature, or just want a cool Instagram backdrop, Fort Karl is definitely worth checking out!

You can also have a nice view of Gustavia harbour like on our last pics!
