Castle Clinton National Monument

Built as a U.S. military fort in 1811 in anticipation of the War of 1812 against the British , Castle Clinton went on to serve a variety of roles.

Inside the former fortress' walls is a museum illustrating the colorful history of Castle Clinton, including how it has served as a fort, entertainment center, immigration depot and aquarium . Read more

The tour with the ranger is worth doing. Only takes about 30 minutes, and I learned a lot of interesting things, like why Battery Park is called Battery Park .

1. It is round. 2. The only legit S o L tickets. 3. Free restrooms .

Views are very good and super awesome as well indeed
