    Fort Adelaide (The Citadel)

    Port LouisMauritius1834–1840

    Fort Adelaide, prominently known as 'The Citadel', is a massive 19th-century stone fortress perched high atop Petite Montagne in Port Louis, Mauritius. Constructed by the British Royal Engineers between 1834 and 1840 under Governor Sir William Nicolay, the fortress was named in honor of Queen Adelaide, wife of King William IV. Uniquely designed not to repel foreign naval fleets, but to suppress potential uprisings by French colonial settlers following the British takeover and the emancipation of slaves, the fortress dominated the capital with its heavy cannons. Today, the fortress is famous for panoramic views of the capital, as well as persistent ghost stories involving phantom soldiers, marching footsteps in underground tunnels, and chilling disembodied voices.

    Martello Tower at La Preneuse

    La PreneuseMauritius1831–1834

    The Martello Tower at La Preneuse is a historic 19th-century British coastal defensive fort located directly on La Preneuse public beach in the Black River district of western Mauritius. Built by the British Royal Engineers between 1831 and 1834, it is one of five original Martello towers constructed on the island—and one of only three surviving today. Fully restored in the 1990s as a museum, the thick stone tower features a swivel cannon mounted on its roof, a copper-lined gunpowder magazine, and underground water cisterns. The tower is renowned among locals and museum volunteers for strange nocturnal occurrences, including phantom gunner sightings, disembodied boots marching on stone stairs, and unexplained brass cannon movements.
