Our guided tours of the Martello Tower Museum never fail to delight tourists and Mauritians alike. It is one of the 5 Martello towers built by the British in Mauritius, in the 19th century. The tower has been faithfully restored; all of the hand hewn Basalt stonework is original. Its many fasinating features, including a cannon mounted on the roof, an undergroundwater reservoir and a powder magazine make for an interesting visit. Going into the rather inauspicious looking fort the visitor goes from the ground floor to the first floor and finally onto the roof seeing and experiencing the fort as it was at the time of its use by soldiers.
An added plus is that our little museum is near a swimming beach with an excellent view of Le Morne Mountain.
