Charlotte Amalie

Charlotte Amalie straddles the shores of its sheltered harbor on St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands, a position that established it as the islands’ principal port and administrative center. The town was shaped by more than two centuries of Danish rule, still evident in its narrow lanes, stone warehouses, and red-roofed colonial buildings. Fort Christian, begun in 1672, stands near the waterfront as the oldest structure in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Steep hills rise directly behind the harbor, while the historic district retains the compact scale of a Caribbean trading town.
