Bastion Square
- Address: Off Wharf St. at end of View St., Downtown, Victoria, BC | Map It
Fodor's Review:
James Douglas, the former colonial governor for whom Douglas Street was named, chose this spot for the original Fort Victoria and Hudson's Bay Company trading post in 1843. Offices and restaurants occupy the old brick buildings, and in summer the square comes alive with street performers and crafts vendors. The former courthouse in the square now houses the Maritime Museum of British Columbia.
