The Battery
This is an iconic landmark at the tip of the Charleston peninsula. The Battery as the name suggests, was the place where the battery of cannons was set to defend the city.

In the center there is a gazebo that is used for ceremonies. The walkway let everyone admire the park and the houses behind it from a raised point of view.

Fort Sumter, standing regally at the entrance of Charleston Harbor, was the location of the first battle between the Confederacy and the Union during the American Civil War.
