About Christiansted
Christiansted is a town on the northern shore of St. Croix, one of the U. S. Virgin Islands. On the waterfront, the Christiansted National Historic Site features several buildings from the Danish colonial era. These include the Customs House, with an elegant stairway, and Fort Christiansvaern. Originally built in the 18th century to protect the town from pirate attacks, the fort displays cannons on its battlements.
