St. George's Essentials

St. George’s, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the oldest continuously inhabited English settlement in the Americas, established in 1612. This coastal town features narrow colonial alleys, historic stone fortifications like Fort St. Catherine, and the 17th-century St. Peter's Church. The area preserves maritime history through sites like the replica ship Deliverance on Ordnance Island and various museums housed in 18th-century buildings that detail Bermuda's role in the American Civil War and the path to emancipation.
