Blackbeard's Castle

This 17th-century watchtower crowns the highest point in Charlotte Amalie, offering sweeping 360-degree views of the harbor, neighboring islands, and the town's colorful rooftops below. Despite its notorious name, the tower actually served as a lookout point for Danish colonial authorities rather than Edward Teach's hideout, but the romantic legend adds charm to your visit. The restored structure houses a small museum with exhibits on local pirate history and colonial architecture.
