The Martello Tower, also known as River Fort, is a former defensive fort located on a beach about three miles south of Codrington, Barbuda.[1][2] It was built in the early 1800s and is located on the site of a former Spanish fort built in 1745. It is the tallest building in Barbuda at thirty-two feet tall.[3] It is said to be the oldest martello tower in the Caribbean.[4]
