Fabulous Views and Fascinating History on SXM
Fort Amsterdam的点评
点评：One of two historic forts on SXM, Fort Amsterdam sits high above the island's Dutch coast, on a narrow peninsula that juts out between Little Bay and Great Bay. That incomparable view is reason enough to pay a visit, but history buffs and nature lovers will find treasures as well.
Established by the Dutch in 1631 to protect their colonial outpost in the volatile Caribbean, the fort was captured by the Spanish just two years later. A unsuccessful Dutch effort to recapture the Fort in 1644 was led by Peter Stuyvesant, who lost a leg in the attempt. It would eventually be returned to the Dutch in 1648 through the Treaty of Westphalia.
There's not much left of the Fort today besides a ruined stone building, a handful of cannon and the stone walls overlooking the harbor. Still, it's an important piece of St Maarten history and makes for an amazing morning hike. Go through the gates of the Divi Little Bay resort (tell the guard you're visiting the Fort), park in the public lot, and follow the signs through the property to the Fort. It's a short but fairly steep climb to the top of the rampart, so stay awhile once you get there. Besides ruins and the incredible view, you'll be rewarded with sightings of iguanas and brown pelicans, who nest on a slope below. Plan on spending at least an hour here, then head down into Philipsburg for drinks and dinner. A visit to Fort Amsterdam is a must for anyone making SXM their Caribbean home away from home!

翻译：阿姆斯特丹堡是圣马丁岛上两座历史要塞之一，它坐落于岛屿的荷兰一侧海岸线上，位于一个小半岛上，该半岛从小湾和大湾之间延伸而出。如此绝美的景观本身就足以吸引游人前去参观，而对历史感兴趣或热爱大自然的人也能在这里有所收获。
这座要塞由荷兰人于1631年修建，旨在保护其在动荡不安的加勒比海地区的殖民地。然而仅仅两年后，它便被西班牙人占领。1644年，荷兰人试图重新夺回这座堡垒，但未能成功。这次行动由彼得·斯泰弗桑特指挥，他在战斗中失去了一条腿。最终，根据1648年签订的《威斯特伐利亚条约》，该堡垒又重新回到了荷兰人手中。
如今，除了几处残破的石砌建筑、少数几门大炮以及俯瞰着港口的石墙外，堡垒已所剩无几。不过，它仍是圣马丁岛历史上重要的一页，也是一次极为值得体验的晨间徒步之旅。穿过Divi Little Bay度假村的大门（告诉保安您是来参观堡垒的），将车停在公共停车场，然后顺着指示牌穿越园区即可到达堡垒。登上城墙顶端的路程虽短，但坡度较陡，因此抵达后不妨多停留一会儿。除了遗址和绝美的风景外，您还有机会看到在下方斜坡上筑巢的鬣蜥和棕鹈鹕。建议在此处至少停留一小时，之后再前往菲利普斯堡享用饮品和晚餐。对于那些把圣马丁岛当作加勒比海“第二 home”的人来说，参观阿姆斯特丹堡绝对是必不可少的体验！
