Fort Young, perched on a cliff in Roseau, was originally built in the 18th century to defend the island. Today it operates as a hotel, but its ramparts and cannons remain open to visitors. The fort's elevated position provides sweeping views of the capital city and the turquoise waters beyond. Walking its stone walls offers a tangible connection to Dominica's colonial past, while the on-site restaurant and bar make it a pleasant stop for a drink with a view.
