Summary
| Description |
English: Fort Frederick is on the Caribbean island of Grenada. It was started by the French in 1779 after the French had captured the island from the British.
The French had surprised the British (who had been anticipating a naval attack) by attacking from inland. Not wanting to be caught in the same way, the French constructed Fort Frederick with its cannon facing inland, rather than out to sea. Because of this, it earned the nickname "Backwards facing fort". The fort overlooks St. George's, Grenada's capital. The view of the city from the fort is spectacular. |
