Skytsborg Tower (sky tower), more commonly referred to as Blackbeard’s Castle Tower, is rich in history. The tower stands proud atop Blackbeard’s Hill in the middle of Charlotte Amalie. It was once used as a lookout to identify enemy ships entering the harbor. To serve as a good vantage point, the tower was built about 40-feet-tall with six-foot thick walls. As you climb the spiral staircase hidden inside, you’ll quickly reach the top and find a one-of-a-kind view of Charlotte Amalie harbor, as well as St Croix and all the way to Puerto Rico.
