910 KN - Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park (1999)

Brief Description

"Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is an outstanding, well-preserved example of 17th- and 18th-century military architecture in a Caribbean context. Designed by the British and built by African slave labour, the fortress is testimony to European colonial expansion, the African slave trade and the emergence of new societies in the Caribbean."

硫磺石山要塞国家公园

"硫磺石山国家公园是17世纪和18世纪出现于加勒比海的军事建筑得到完好保存的典型范例。这座公园由英国设计师设计、大批的非洲奴隶建造，要塞证实了欧洲殖民地的扩张、非洲的奴隶交易以及加勒比海地区新型社会制度的出现。"
