Nanaimo Bastion is a historic landmark located in the heart of Nanaimo, British Columbia. The Bastion is a wooden tower that stands tall and proud, overlooking the bustling streets of the city. It was built in 1853 by the Hudson's Bay Company as a defensive structure to protect the city from potential attacks. The Bastion is a symbol of Nanaimo's rich history and is one of the oldest buildings in the city.
The structure is made of Douglas fir logs and stands at 17 meters tall. It has a distinctive octagonal shape and is topped with a cone-shaped roof. The Bastion has been well-preserved over the years and has undergone several restorations to maintain its original charm. Visitors can climb up the narrow staircase to the top of the tower and enjoy panoramic views of the city and the harbor.
Inside the Bastion, visitors can explore the history of Nanaimo through various exhibits and displays. The Bastion also houses a gift shop where visitors can purchase souvenirs and local crafts. The site is open to the public during the summer months and is a popular tourist attraction in Nanaimo.
The Nanaimo Bastion is not only a historic landmark but also a cultural hub for the community. It hosts various events and festivals throughout the year, including the annual Bastion Square Market, which features local vendors and artisans. The Bastion is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, architecture, or simply looking for a unique experience in Nanaimo.
