Great for a leisure walk, picnic, or lazy Sunday of exploring. Easy enough to walk all around the Fort in a short amount of time, lush and hilly, with a goat pen! and great views of the river and Verrazano Bridge. Great photo ops, and secret nooks and crannies for the adventurous.
Beautiful view of the bridge and bay. Would’ve been a nice experience if my friend and I had not been arbitrarily harassed and bullied by the police.
One of the best parks on the island. It has a campground and a public beach with no lifeguards. It is a bit dirty as its considered a federal park. You can bring your own grill and not worried of being kicked out by the park rangers.
A warning to vistors, access to the bathroom is iffy and inconsistent along the main road despite the stated operation hours and bus service is infrequent at least for me but that isnt the park services fault. Aside from that, very quiet and scenic views from as far as jersey city, Manhattan and also clear views of bay ridge and verrazano bridge. Usually quiet and not very crowded, quite a bit to explore around here. Not much else to say, worth a visit or two like for dates.
Not too many people, amazing place overall.
Fantastic location of great historical value to New York City. Thankfully, this long decommissioned military site has been preserved granted the public access to it. This is also a great scenic location, overlooking the Brooklyn landscape, Verazzano bridge and the downtown Manhattan city line.
I love going to Fort Wadsworth just for the views. They have the best view of the Verrazano Bridge. It is also really nice to look at the historic Fort that is still up till this day.
We had a very bad experience at Fort Wadsworth.I would give them zero star if possible. We used to combine 22 players from two different United Methodist churches in Brooklyn and come to Fort Wadsworth after church on Sunday to play cricket for two weeks. We always noticed that park police kept an eye on us about what are we doing. On third Sunday, when we came to Fort, there is a basketball court on Hudson Road right next to where we play cricket. My friend drop his son there for him to play basketball and all of sudden lady park ranger came and stopped behind our car. She said, this is a “private property” and you cant play basketball here. My friend asked his son to come back in car and we were leaving. Lady said you cant go like that, since you pulled over on side of the road, I will go first then you go. I am not sure which employee manual of National Park Service teaches that rule. She was showing her authority to us though we followed what she said. First of all, it is not a private property but it is a property National Park Service and say it is off limits to public rather than private property. She went back to her office and we started playing cricket. Next thing is, within 5 minutes, police came and stopped our play. Police officer said, you can only play here if you have a permit. Police officer even said that they got a call from Park Ranger complaining about our game. I am not surprise, that same lady went back and called police. Police officer said, he understand that you all are playing a sport but if you guys don’t go then they will get a phone call again.National Park Service should post a sign on Hudson Rd stating that permits are required for using this ground. There was no clear sign posted for permits. In winter same hills are used for sledding in snow week after week, I hope National Park Service is asking for permits at that time.Cc: U.S. Department of the InteriorNational Park Service
Part of Gateway National Recreation Area, the area has several historic structures dealing with history from the Revolutionary War to World War II. The overlook has great views of New York Harbor and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. There is a small visitor center run by the National Park Service at the fort offering various tours. Camping is available and areas for walks on the beach.
Awesome hiking, cycling, and or running. Dont forget to soak up the breathtaking views of NYC skyline and the iconic Verrazano Bridge.
Amazing panoramic views and great history. Rangers offer guided tours from the visitor center or you can self tour. Part of the larger Gateway National Park which is spread across Sandy Hook Nj, Staten Island, and Brooklyn. Some sites offer camping in unique locations. Worth the trip just for the view alone.
Good view. Dont have to walk to far.
Beautiful historical piece of Staten island, NYC, and America as a whole. They hold a fantastic fireworks show here every Fourth of July. Great place to visit and tour
The fort is awesome. What boils my blood is the amount of neglect to the fort and surrounding structures. Lots of overgrown and closed areas. It looks like this was once a pretty good attraction for people to visit had turned into a neglected gem.
Nice view of the harbor and the VZ bridge and the Manhattan skyline.If you travel thru SI and traffic bad a good pit stop in either direction.
Wow history in front of your eyes. Beautiful vantage point of Manhattan, Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, and the forts with plentiful information available to read.
Amazing views even on a cloudy day. The park is clean and nicely kept. Good for biking, walking, running.
Beautiful National Park located on Staten Island under Verrazano bridge, with Great views of New York Harbor. Guided tours Wednesday through Sunday from Ranger station. Small camp ground open in the summer. Wonderful place to hike or ride bikes. Bus 51 from Staten Island Ferry takes you right to the gate. No place to eat in the park but there are restaurants a short walk outside the gate.
My baby enjoyed the day to fullest and every time when ever we come here it’s really clean and well maintained. We never forget to go under the bridge whenever we go to Staten Island.
Great view of downtown Manhattan and Verazzano bridge. Great walk, very green!
Amazing walk amazing views. To bad they dont have a few food or drink stands. By the way there are real GOAT in the fort...🤯
Beautiful view especially at night. Stayed at the Navy Lodge. Found it to be clean, the personnel polite and welcoming.
Beautiful view of the bridge and the fort, they got benches where you could sit and relax. Didnt get a chance to take the free tour of the fort
Great view of Brooklyn from Staten Island and Verrazano Bridge. A nice place for walk and a bit of history. There is a short beach Walk below the bridge.
Nice but would be so much better if I could rummage through the old fort and battery. Some nice buildings in need of renovation. HGTV should come down and hook it up. There were some hijinks but there are a lot of cops so you have to pick and choose carefully what chaos you want to engage in.
Beautiful views under Verrazano bridge at Fort Wadsworth
Always great .i grew up on Wadsworth ave right outside the fort. Beautiful place to take a walk
So quiet with amazing views of Verrazano Bridge, NYC and Brooklyn. Great for bike riding from Staten Island Ferry and to the beach.
Great place to go for a walk, well kept and not too busy. Can be little noisy when walking under the bridge, but that to be expected.
Wanna see a fort, like really see it? This is the place to visit. Not much of a restriction on where to walk, or climb. Feel free to discover the place like those YouTube videos where people record abandoned places :)
I live right next to the old battery and it is great walking distance and very cool for history freaks and has a great view Manhattan
Awesome trail to explore if u havent
Love this place. Must go if you are a photographer.
Beautiful observatory area under the bridge. Went when it was a full moon for Novembers Beaver Moon and Lunar eclipse and it was gorgeous especially with the Manhattan and Brooklyn lit up across the water.
Quiet and peaceful historic park with interesting ruins and an amazing view of Manhattan
National park on the N shore of Staten Island is a beautiful, scenic, historical place to visit. Gorgeous views of the VZN bridge, paths to the boardwalk on Father Cap. Bike, walk, run, stroll the paths and enjoy the views. In the Borough of parks this one stands out and does not disappoint.
Amazing local find! Recently discovered the campsite camp getaway on Fort Wadsworth grounds. You can go camping here! Spaces were limited due to covid precautions but it was incredible and rangers on site were very helpful. Close to the beach. A hidden gem.
Nice view of the lighthouse and Verrazzano-Narrows bridge. Good for jogging and picnics too. Will make a good stop if you are visiting Staten Island.
Very secluded place. Less populated. However, a lot of garbage on the beach
Nice place with a beautiful view for Manhattan an Brookly, And NJI love going there
Historic Structure next to spectacular views of the Verranzano Narrows Bridge
We visited here in the fall. I love the live deer you see walking around and the goats! Also the Verizzano bridge is such an amazing landmark.
Start point NYC marathon.Very nice and beautiful place
QUIET .PEACEFUL AWAY FROM CRAZY World . A WALK WITH GOD TYPE EXPERIENCE..A Piece OF SERENITY Well NEEDED..
I lived on Ft Wadsworth from 1960- 1964 then moved to Ft Slocum. My father was
Great place to walk and for great views of NYC & BROOKLYN
Visited Battery Weed during OHNY. The battery is impressive, but rarely open to the public.
We had a great day of walking around exploring and taking in the sights. Very beautiful place
Great place to spend some lone time. Amazing views and history
Iconic location. Wide view of Manhattan and beautiful bridge.
I love this place. Great place for pictures
Amazing spot no matter the weather. Great place for sledding, bike riding, for tourists, and wedding photos.
My 2 year old was amazed and keeped my 13 year the same way
Fun safe and good sense of security while enjoying the views and atmosphere
A must see if you are in Staten Island. During winter bring your sleigh or other snow riding device as there is an awesome hill to ride here. The views of Manhattan island are amazing as well as the Verrazano Bridge.
Lovely hills, history, views and easy drive
Nice place to walk and get some fresh air.
Mr. Tate is an outstanding Ranger. Went way out of his way to show my Cadets Staten Island history.
Really good place to get fresh air with fresh view.
Very relaxing. Great place to go for the vibes at night
An interesting park with a cool view. Expect to pay a lot of tolls to get there. Close to south beach a nice little local beach where you can soak in the sun. My friend Doug actually tried to kiss me here once. That was wackadoo for sure. There is also free parking!
Nice area to walk around. They have posted historical information about the old cannon batteries overlooking the bay and access to the beach. The national park service provides guided tours at select days and times and are not daily so if you plan to have that experience plan ahead.
Excellent views of Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. Vearrazzano Bridge for photos. Deer roaming the area right here in NYC. Lower NY harbor. Ships. Ferries. Container ships. Fishing boats. Hey! NY harbor is bustling with activity! No bettter place to view from Ft. Wadsworth. (Has a much higher view than my beloved Brooklyn viewpoints.)
Excellent city view and a great place to take walk with the family, a Date or even just to clear up your mind
Attended the annual Mass for Father Vincent Capodanno. We had the Mass outside on this beautiful day. Fr Capodanno is an official Servant of God and we are hopeful that he will be canonized soon!
Go there all the time for relaxing time.
Beautiful and tranquil. An exquisite view of the Verrazano Bridge and of New York Bay. Never crowded even on the most beautiful of days and a staff whos always happy to give answers to questions. Goats are kept on the side of the hill, seasonally. That was a complete surprise, lol. Apparently, theres a over abundance of poison ivy growing there and the goats keep the vegetation in check, it seems theyre immune to it and eat it, heartedly. Who knew??? lol. The fort is like is like a time capsule. You can envision sentries standing at their posts looking for invading ships. Although, by the time of its completion it was already deemed obsolete. Try it, its a must-visit on Staten Island.
The Fort Wadsworth unit has beautiful views of the Narrows, Upper and Lower New York Bays, lovely grounds and interesting historic forts!But the visitor center is lacking!It looks like it was created on a shoestring budget, lacks color, interactive exhibits, and there are no authentic artifacts from its history on display, especially for the Revolutionary War period. No book shop, either! I can’t recommend it!
I have been here twice for city wide events.
The trail was awesome!
Great views of New York Harbor
Pretty scenic views of the city and the surrounding area. Two cool forts which dont have too much historical significance since they never experience battle. In general the forts are kind of closed down and in disrepair. Would be nice if the NPS was able to invest some money into the park and make it a better experience.
You have to explore, otherwise you dont see any of the cool spots. I found a trail that goes through three (3) old tunnels that lead to a field, camp ground, and a beach! Its limited access since its under construction. There are a couple private beaches. You can hear the birds chirping and the waves crashing. Its a nice break from the busy city.
Nice place to picnic.
This review is wrong about Ft. Wadsworth. Its very small but it has a spectacular overlook under the Verrazzano Narrows Bridge. You get great views of Brooklyn and really nice one of Manhattan. There are binocular pedestals there. But bring your own to intensify the view. Plus your up high looking down at the old fort, Battery Weed, protecting the harbor entrance. Its historic and scenic at the same time. Great photo spot. And the VZ bridge is so close and it looms over you to set up more tremendous photo ops. You could bring lunch and even picnic there. Its a little tricky to find but its also a great place to see a cruise ship go in and out. And at the right time you can see Navy ships coming into the Harbor. I highly recommend it. 5 stars.
My niece had her wedding there 2 weeks ago. A beautiful place for a small intimate wedding an absolutely lovely place for pictures and history. Really great
I love this National Park and Monument AND the magnificent Verrazano Bridge. I had the privilege of living here for a few years so I am biased.It is a great destination for a days outing with the kids. Bring a picnic and a blanket.
Can you review a historical site? I guess I just did. I have the opportunity of seeing it constantly, but guided tours are available if you want to get a feel for the history involved. As for that giant metal monstrosity that looms above it, I have no kind words for that.
Fort Wadsworth is a great free place to visit for all ages. Good place for a run or bike ride with great views of the Verrazano Bridge as well as Manhattan and Brooklyn. Tours of the fort itself are offered where they bring you into the fort and explain the history of the area and its role in American history
Great place for walk, run or bike ride
Beatiful and paceful place, for a long stay ♡
Love the views , very tranquil . enjoy relaxing on the beach while doing a little fishing. Fish have been scarce as of late but you must put your time in.!!! Haha
Best camping spot great views clean toilets love the open air private showers. The huge gazebo over looking the ocean is fantastic. Free firewood everyday the staff is the best ever! They have food lockers. For folks that want more of a getaway instead of tent camping the now have mini home trailers overlooking the ocean.
Urban exploring on my bike, this Fort has all the space to wander about. Located near the Verrazano Bridge, look for places off the beaten path as I ended up in the shores. Plenty of history dating back to the Civil War, this is a well maintained place.
Great spot... all parts of the Gateway National Park group in the hold Gateway area of New York Citys entrance is a great historical landmark with lots of evolutionary 1812 war memorabilia Sandy Hook Fort Tilden Fort Hancock Fort Wadsworth are all great historical places to visit and the National Park Service has Park Rangers you can do tours and have full history told you an answer any questions it really great places to visit especially if you love American history
It is a very beautiful site, quite unlike the city life of New York. It is a really quiet place where you can literally feel the nature and meditate. I believe every New Yorker and visitor to this city should at least once come down to this place.
👍
A marvelous find I never new about in staten island. Being from Long island, its usually a passover while traveling.Lots of walking and historic items. Dog friendly.Will have to come back for a tour one day when their open.
Amazing views. Very enjoyable for runs and late evening relaxations.
Nice, secluded beach area. Not too crowded. But a lot of trash washes up here.
The lodging was nice, and had a great running route nearby
Mind blowing. Must visit place in staten island.
Amazing hidden gem, but if you can make the trip to Staten Island it is well worth the visit for the views if nothing else but actually the history of the place is really interesting!
A nice place to walk during fair weather seasons. The view of the Verrazano Bridge is spectacular and there are plenty of little treasures to find while exploring. If you walk east along the water, youll end up at South Beach and eventually the boardwalk. Coast Guard Sector New York is located here and so are the National Park Service. Theres a lot going on within this space but its still friendly for visitors.
Beautiful historical place.
This is a great place to visit. There is so much history. Parents should bring their children. There is a beautiful view of the Narrows, Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Verrazzano bridge.
Great guided tour to learn about local history. Small museum with a great display of the forts in the area and how they were intentionally placed. We learned a lot!
Great fort and FANTASTIC TOUR.
One of the military installations built to protect New York City from foreign attack especially Britain. It was part of a system of forts built all around New York Harbor strategically to repel sea invaders. NPS rangers do a great job interpreting the history of the fort. Excellent scenary from several vantage points.
I visited this fort with a walking tour group and had a great visit. It was a former United States military installation on Staten Island in New York City, situated on The Narrows which divide New York Bay into Upper and Lower halves, a natural point for defense of the Upper Bay and Manhattan beyond. Prior to closing in 1994 it claimed to be the longest continually garrisoned military installation in the United States.Today it is managed by the National Parks Service and is open to the public as part of the Gateway National Recreational Area. We were able to get a park ranger give us a tour of inside the fort which was educational and cool. Admission is free.The weather was beautiful and the views of the Verrazano bridge and water were amazing. We did see a few people walking around or sitting on benches enjoying the scenery surrounding the fort.Definitely a different and cool place to check out in NYC.
State park with lovely views and lighter hiking trails. Guided walking tours can be arranged through visitors center. There is beach access and a camping area. Some areas are off-limits.
Nice area long walk if u take the bus tho so wear comfortable shoes😌
Beauty piece of history in Staten Island, NY
This place is one of the gateway national park can catch great view to verazano bridge Chanel,the park also got great visitor with ranger guide and 6 camp site for enjoy the closest NYC sky , the fort is huge , the greatest way to checkout the fort is see from overlooked can see background of New York verazano narrow channel and Brooklyn to Atlantic breeze,really love this place nice and quiet with highly recommend to visit
1st time being there... advised by bf to come here on my rough days for some distraction and peacefulness. That it definitely was. Bring sunscreen though lots of open area
I love Ft. Wadsworth. Im not a big city person, and Ft. Wadsworth gives me the space I need to enjoy living near the big city, going over to Manhattan daily, retiring to my quiet place in the evenings. Its old, and, as with so many govt places, the recent face lift never touched the plumbing. The tub is clean, though, albeit ancient, for showers and theres no shortage of hot water. I am referring to the Coast Guard Guest Quarters. The fort is undergoing changes. The park police horses are gone somewhere. Battery Weed lies below the heights in desolate eminence below the grandeur of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. Dwarfed on the horizon lie the skyscrapers. The city may never sleep but Staten Island does, and snug away from the bright lights, so do I.
Nice place to walk or bike with great views. Also a historical site for those history buggs out there like myself.
Nice place to visit and take photos
Definitely the best fort in New York City. With great views of the Verrazano bridge and amazing looking batteries this is one place that you will probably want to visit again and again.
Beautiful view to the city of Manhattan the Verrazano bridge, learn history from the 1600 hundreds, see where the Hubson River drains to the Atlantic Ocean, and much more things to do around. There is a camp site.😄
Arguably the best sightseeing place on SI. The fort is beautiful, theres a great view of Downtown Manhattan, and plenty of obscure structures to explore.
Start of NYC Marathon, can get breezy during the morning.
Still cant believe they built all these forts and never used them but interested to walk through them
Awesome place for biking, hanging out with your kids, possibly camping, and just a great views, insta worthy pics with little effort. highly recommend it on good weather day.
Great place to explore
Amazing Bike Ride & the views are even more to enjoy with family or friends ….
The view is spectacular. You can see Brooklyn across the narrows, the statue of Liberty, the Verrazzano bridge. .
I love this place because my husband played here as a child sneaking through the base passed all the military police into the fort and hed have a field day with his best friends from the South Beach projects. Exploring history
I rode in the 5 boro bike tour and once you climb the bridge after ridding the city you go to Fort Wadsworth to get your medal and socialize. Its a very nice place
Since new york city and the parks department took over Fort Wadsworth. I guess, Its not in the budget to take care of this once beautiful place. Staten Island always gets dumped on, Literally.
Beautiful grounds here. Perfect for some celebrations. Parking was easy & its never too crowded. Theres even a church on the campus.
Beautiful place. Wild natural unkept beach. Views of harbor and Verrazanno fantastic. Fort is historic and has a feeling of age and unkempt beauty.
Nice place to visit with beautiful views if the Narrows. American History for all of us to learn and enjoy!
Great place to explore. Has everything you need in a getaway-picnic-park-beach-hike-bike-day.
Beautiful old fort partly in ruins. A great piece of American history
Beautiful view that is filled with Gods greenery at its best! Great place to go to be filled with peace by being still and pressing into your spirit.
Great place to stop for pics of the bridge, the fort is cool but never been able to see inside. hope to one day.
A lovely park area with amazing views of the verrazano bridge, the old fort, and the water, and of coarse NYC, Brooklyn. Great place to walk and relax.
Good place to spend some time, you can camp in there too, just get the permit. You cannot though to get to fortress, its locked
Great view of NYC harbor.
Wow its a very nice location to see a harbor and Bridge. Cool place to take the photos or do a photo shoot. Historical location.
Beautiful view of Brooklyn down to Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty off in the distance. Only wish I had had time to come back here in the daytime as well.
Large park handles the TD bike ride finish event
Gotta see it to believe it such a beautiful spot of the NYC skyline amongst so much more during the day with awesome mtb biketrails I love this place💯❤
The NYC Marathon starts here.
Rooms are decent and clean. Staying for a few days the cleaning of the room was a disappointment. It seems they need to keep up on extermination, there was an outside bug in my room.
Not only a beautiful historic landmark park, but also an Active US Coast Guard Base.
Beautiful National park with views of the Verrazzano bridge, and the city skyline. It also has a campground right in New York City.
Worth the visit to see this abandoned fort and battery. Easy to get to if you take the S53 bus from Bay Ridge.
Amazing place to go for a walk thats easy to get to, easy to find parking and beautiful views.
Best place to walk great view of New York bay and Verrazano bridge just be careful when u walk under bridge there are always nuts and bolts falling down from bridge construction
Great place to catch views of the bay and the Verrazano bridge. Tons of photo shoots have been done here.
Excellent base with great historical significance for the city of New York. Only open to visitors with valid U.S., military or government ID.
This is a fantastic place to visit, full of history and neat things to see. One of the best places to see the Verrazano Bridge!
Start of the New York Marathon
I have only been here for work reasons. The grounds are well kept. Pretty easy to drive aroubd without getting lost.
If there was a battle here, it might have been a more import sight to keep up.
Park Ranger was a super help... very informative as well...Her name was Jean... like I dream of Jeanie...plus much cleaner than expected.. showers...etc
It was good only thing it had a lot of ants in the kitchen area. But overall a good stay.
Just beautiful scenery, and loved the history.Awesome pics of the Verrazano bridge too.
Great place to visit. Overlooking Varazano Narrows Bridge.
Beautiful views. Great for taking walks, having a picnic, or simply relaxing on a day off.
Beautiful nature place mixed with old buildings and the Verrazano bridge view! I had a nice time there!
Nice place to walk around nice views of the bridge its close to the beach but for the kids theres not much for them to do...
I walk my dogs here almost every day, its a beautiful place to stop and breath in some fresh air.
A great place to hike and see history.
Awesome park !!!
Fort Wadsworth is a beautiful area with breathtaking views of the narrows, the New York area, and the Verrazano Bridge...
It is a great place to visit, if you come in Staten Island.
Very peaceful. Makes you feel like you stepped back in time. Great spot for picnics
Great ID section for renewing your Military ID. Very helpful. 100% better than Fort Hamilton
Beautiful biking walking playgrounds picnic areas and great historic family fun
Beautiful historical and touristic site. Perfect location which is also ideal to start the TCS NYC. marathon
Beautiful place, recommend for families with kids and without, for bikers and joggers, for everyone. Plenty of free parking.
Nice calm less crowded place. Has amazing view of skyline and bridge and fort
Wonderful view from the overlook. Cannot help been overcome with a sense of centuries of history in the panorama before you.
Reserve/ coast guard post. Good site seeing spots. Mwr, small shoppette, descent gym available and housing on post.
Great place to start the NYC marathon. NYPD helicopter fly by and cannon fire start. Amazing!
Great place to start a marathon
The place is awesome, but groups of kids come here to smoke weed and leave a sickening stench in the air.
Nice place to visit but there is no one to guide you or give you some history of the site.
A lot of history here. They usually offer tours on Sundays during select months
Very cool piece of important history. Beautiful views. Great for kids
Nice place to look at. I was on my boat and Google wants a review. I have never been inside.
Lots of history, views and information. Great place to walk around and take in the sights
Drove thru on our way to chappel lovely area beautiful chapel looking forward to going ba k
Stunning views and a historic location. Also where the cannons are fired at the start of the NYC Marathon!♥️
Wonderful national park that affords beautiful views of the bridge
Loved the place, look forward to going back when Its not raining
I have only seen from the outside during the departure of the New York City marathon. And it looks nice :)
Great place to spend a few hours! Definitely sign up for a tour.
It was a beautiful day so enjoy
Beautiful park around the bridge
Very good place to visit
Stayed at Navy Lodge. Great team of associates, very friendly and helpful. Clean rooms
Greatest place in New York to stay, respectful and courteous to all who stay, would not stay anywhere else.

Very nice place to just sit and clear your head me and babe came Here and had fun
Just go!

2021-09-08Very cool and interesting place to visit. Lots of boards with info about the different things you are seeing. I did not enter Battery Weed as it was locked but it was fun to see up close regardless. The views of the water, bridge and skyline are great. There are benches also closer to the bridge if you just want to relax and take in the view. Check out the old defense cannon by that area also.

Review №4
2021-07-05Nice views of the manhattan and Brooklyn area, as well as the verazzano bridge. If youre bringing a camera, try to get a telephoto lens, you will get some nice shots of the skyline. Its worth a quick stop to check it out!

Review №8
2022-06-22Beautiful, clean and quiet. The view was breathtaking! Just within yards of the famous Verrazano bridge and the skyline of Manhattan is as majestic as can be described!!
Review №9
2021-05-15A well-signed historical fort and battery once used by the Army in the 19th century to guard the mouth of New York harbor.As the technology of war advanced, the stone fort buildings became obsolete as a means of defending the harbor, and they have been abandoned. Nature has began reclaiming the area, with vines growing into and on the roofs of the historical fort.

2022-06-20The view from the bridge is just impressive, you can take a lot of cool photos. Im always drawn here if I dont visit for a long time.
