The Skansin Fort and Lighthouse, Faroe Islands
By Rick Hagg | June 30, 2008
The Skansin Fort was built in 1580 to defend Tórshavn harbour, which was constantly subjected to attacks by pirates.
There’s not all that much to the fort, but it’s worth a look. There are some cannons are on the fort, and it offers some good views both of Tórshavn and across the bay to the island of Nolsoy.
On top of the fort is a lighthouse.
