The islands of Antigua and Barbuda form a small nation whose strategic importance is greater than its size. Located at the outer curve of the Leeward Islands, Antigua and Barbuda are well placed for strategic defense of the Caribbean against outside forces. The natural harbors along Antigua's indented coast also offer havens for naval forces.
Antigua history is a continuum of events that constantly shape, define and redefine it's existence and journey from slavery to nationhood. The historical sites in Antigua include places of interest, buildings, military relics and monuments from colonialism.
