Mont Orgueil Castle
Mont Orgueil, popularly known as Gorey Castle, is Jersey's most iconic landmark. Situated on the east coast of the island, the Castle was built in the 13th century to defend the island from attack by the French, whose coast could easily seen from the Castle battlements just 14 miles away. Unused and ruined in the 1600s, it subsequently became the main Jersey prison before being renovated in the 18th century for soldier's accommodation. It became a major tourist attraction in the mid-19th century after a visit by Queen Victoria, and became a museum in 1929. It remains the most famous and popular site in the Channel Islands and is breathtaking to visit.

Noirmont Bunker
Extending to a depth of 40ft on two floors, this impressive bunker was the Command Post (‘Leitstand’) for the naval coastal artillery battery ‘Lothringen’ located here and the only German naval coastal artillery battery to be established in Jersey during the Occupation. While defense installations at Noirmont Point date from as early as 1941, it was Hitler's fear of an Allied invasion on the French Atlantic coast which led to the construction of this large command bunker in 1944 which has been restored including various gun emplacements and an observation tower.

Royal Square
Royal Square is an imposing keystone which holds many memories of Jersey's history. The Fanfare composed by James Francis Brown will be premiered here on the very spot that Major Peirson fell in 1781 defending the island. On that day British troops including the Jersey Militia defended the island from French invaders in the Battle of Jersey. It was a short and fierce battle with the British forces under Major Pierson emerging victorious, preserving the freedom of the island. It was the last land battle to be fought on British soil. Bullet holes can still be seen on the granite walls surrounding the square. Sadly while his troops were victorious, Major Peirson died in the battle.
It was also from the balcony of the States Assembly that Sir Alexander Coutanche, the island's wartime Bailiff, informed islanders in 1940 that they were to be occupied by German forces and five years later that the island had been liberated.
