The third building in the British triangle is Fort Victoria. This fort is the smallest of all, and is situated on top of a green hill in the west of the city centre. Again, it is officially closed but when you get there you can easily enter it without having to ask someone or without paying for it.

The building was built in 1702 and it was restored in the 1800's. It is a small white building that only has one central room and one line of walls around it. From here you have a great view over the city, the other two forts, the lagoon and of course the blue sea.

Another nice thing to see from here are the birds that fly around and play in the wind.
