Beaconsfield Historic House

Beaconsfield Historic House reminds visitors of the Victorian charm of the 19th century. The exquisite mansion was built in 1877 in a great location by Victoria Park, overlooking the Charlottetown Harbour. Its 25 rooms and eight fireplaces not only provide insight into the fashions of The Gilded Age but also make the former residence a true historical treasure. Beyond the banana-yellow facade, you can't miss the carriage house, which hosts a children's festival in the summer. Tours are offered year round, and the on-site bookstore sells an assortment of material on the history and the architecture of the island.

St. Dunstan's Basilica

Named after an Anglo Saxon saint from Glastonbury, England, St. Dunstan's Basilica is a beautifully constructed stone basilica. An elaborate example of French-Gothic architecture, it claims to be the only Roman Catholic cathedral in the region. The site's original structure was completed in 1907 though the landmark that stands today was constructed in 1916 after a fire destroyed the first site. Later that same century, the nicely rebuilt St. Dunstan's Basilica was designated a National Historic Site, skyrocketing it to the top of the list of great attractions in Charlottetown.

All Souls' Chapel

Located on the premises of St. Peter's Cathedral in downtown Charlottetown, All Souls' Chapel was established as a dedication to Father George Hodgson, the cathedral's first priest. Established in 1888, the chapel features High Victorian Gothic architecture, and it was constructed in locally sourced sandstone. The chapel was designed by William Critchlow Harris, a renowned ecclesiastical architect, and Harris' brother Robert painted the murals that grace the chapel's inner walls. Visit this National Historic Site and regional Heritage Place then get a breath of fresh air at Rochford Square, which is situated just beyond All Souls' Chapel.

Government House

Also known as Fanningbank, this Government House is the official residence of the Prince Edward Island lieutenant governor. It takes its nickname from Edmund Fanning, the Lieutenant Governor of Prince Edward Island who decided the site's location in 1789. Construction on the residence was finished in 1834, and its traditional Georgian architecture has been admired ever since. Beyond hosting several royal meetings and events each year, the Government House welcomes visitors to tour the grounds and read up on its history in the carriage house.

Prince Edward Battery

Prince Edward Battery is located within Victoria Park and overlooks the sea, specifically, Northumberland Strait. A visit to this fort will take you back in time to when the large gun cannons on display were used to protect the Island. The Battery offers beautiful views of the water and also has plenty of interesting signage. This place is a must for history lovers when in the city.
