Details About Charlestown

Destinations » Caribbean » Caribbean - Eastern » Charlestown


Charlestown was built in a protected area on the Leeward side of Nevis, situated between Fort Charles and the Fort Black Rocks. Most of the original buildings were destroyed over time by earthquakes, leading to the common practice of building a series of wooden upper floors over a stone ground floor. It has a population of 1500. It is the main centre for government,education,trade and business in Nevis.
