Battery Point Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Fortress Point is a highland terrain, 1.5 kilometers from the city, this area is a relatively long history of Hobart. Battery Point got its name from the Battery, built here in 1818, to protect the town of Hobart from threats from the sea, mainly for strategic reasons. During the heyday of whaling, Battery Point was a bustling area with a steady stream of sailors, and now the area around Battery Point is a secluded, upscale residential area where 19th-century Victorian and Georgian mansions can still be seen. There are many antique shops, art galleries and cafes that have been converted from old houses on the street. Wander around picturesque ArthurCircus, admire St George's Anglican Church on Cromwell St., or walk slowly on Napoleon St. to the harbour, where the mooring ropes sing in the wind and you can listen to the sound of ships colliding with each other.

A very nice suburb to walk around and learn about the history of Hobart. Walking at Battery Point is like go back in time, wide collection of gorgeous historic architect, beutiful garden and lovely view of the pier at the heart of Hobart. Highly recommend to visit Battery Point while visiting Hobart!
Must visit area at Hobart! lots of good restaurant and cafe to explore! Dont miss the Salamanca Saturday Market!
Let me explain: Fortress and Battersea are the same place, but the translation is different. This is a famous rich area a hundred years ago, not far from the park next to the Salamanca market. Walking on the street, you see the houses and churches built around the sea, and imagine the businessman Fu Jia's busy schedule. Time is staggered and now the buildings are old, just a history stamp!
This is Hobart's famous rich area, along the way is a fine villa, the exterior walls of the villa are different colors, the flowers and trees in the yard add vitality and vitality to the villa, people can not help but stop to watch.
