Fort Jefferson is a massive coastal fortress located on Garden Key in Dry Tortugas National Park. Built in the mid-1800s, it’s one of the largest masonry structures in the Americas, made from over 16 million bricks. Originally intended to protect shipping routes, the fort was never completed or fully armed. Today, visitors can walk its towering walls, explore the powder magazines and prison cells, and learn about its Civil War-era history. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters and coral reefs, Fort Jefferson is both a remarkable feat of engineering and a strikingly remote piece of American history.
