Approximately in 1200 AD on island Vadadli from the South America have come kariby. They were extremely aggressive, therefore to local residents, Arawaks, it was necessary to be on the lam. New owners have settled down near to the Bay of Indians. Here they did red-white ceramics. As the clay utensils of the same colouring were made by the expelled Arawaks, scientific have assumed, that both tribes - Arawaks and kariby - an essence one people.

The first poselentsy from Europe have appeared here only in thirty years after opening of island by Columbus. Absence of sources of fresh water and an attack of cannibals have made a life of Spaniards on this earth intolerable. Colonists have left on Ispanolu, present Haiti. So about Sacred Maria's island have forgotten for hundred years. The first he was recollected by Englishmen who have declared the claims for Antigua and in three years have landed here colonists. In honour of this joyful event on the money received from monstrous operation of slaves, Sacred John's wooden church has been erected. But, probably, to the higher forces such way of consolidation of belief has not pleased: the temple repeatedly collapsed earthquakes and was destroyed by fires. In one perfect day which has come after the strongest hurricane, parishioners on a church place have found out a heap of logs. The authorities have decided to construct a new temple of a stone, and its internal walls have upholstered with the rests of the old. According to architect Fulera, elastic wood of a yellow pine should rescue a stone design from natural cataclysms. Calculation has appeared is correct. Wooden inside and stone outside the church costs without major repairs already two hundreds years. First evil tongues compared creation Fulera with pagan kapishchem over which two towered fallicheskie towers. They for some reason reminded some colonists indecent in appearance pepper pods. In due course to new architectural style have got used. And now this neobaroque temple consider as the most impressing building in all West Indies. To take pleasure in its kind karibam it was not possible … any more

Englishmen suffered from them weight of inconveniences. Savages periodically attacked settlements, reduced to ashes houses, women and children stole in slavery, once they managed to kill the governor. To survive Englishmen with Vadadli, Indians have gone on the union with Frenchmen who did not leave attempts to take hold of island. They managed to make it in 1666 the Most devout Englishmen seriously have thought then of the doomsday beginning. To their pleasure, the Caribbean apocalypse lasted all year. In 1667 Antigua has again begun to shine diamond in the British crown. Traitors of Indians who have helped Frenchmen to grasp a colony, total destruction expected. On island have begun large-scale building.

To protect Saint Johns, capital Antigua, from attacks of the enemy, Englishmen in the middle of XVII century have erected fort Barington. It have named so in honour of the English admiral who has crushed Frenchmen during military expedition on island Saint Lucia. After the station, regulating light signals and tags pass of the ships to capital harbour here took places. From Goat mountain the magnificent kind opens. Not to use such place in the defensive purposes would be a crime. All space of a bay well was exposed to fire, while the fortress remained inaccessible to artillery fire from the sea. Fort Barington it has appeared quite enough to stop attacks of cannibals to Saint Johns. However, savages remains already very little. The legend says, that the last kariby Antiguas have come in the Bay of Indians and have ascended to the Bridge of the Devil. Then all have together jumped off headfirst in raging abyss, having stated to that the resolute disagreement with full destruction of indigenous population. This unique place, the Bridge of the Devil, enjoyed at Indians the person popularity. After all here there lived the main spirits of island. The Atlantic currents originating at the western coast of Africa, reach Antigua and break about rocky coast. For millenia it has washed away to such degree, that under the bridge have hammered in geysers. Present tourists assert, that if in a geyser to throw two eggs the devil will eat one cooked egg itself, and another will spit out on a land. To throw under the bridge we of nothing steels but when the operator has tried to remove a devil construction more close, the forces living below, have awarded with its such splashes, that it was necessary to forget about one videocamera for ever.

Been quit with karibami, Englishmen have begun to erect serious strengthenings, this time against Frenchmen (they quite often navedyvalis to rich Saint Johns for the purpose of a robbery and violence). In XVIII century the British colonists have finished a fort James who should cover northern approaches to capital. The first excavations have begun here in 1680 When internal buildings were surrounded with a powerful wall, building was officially counted finished. On erection of barracks, powder warehouses and the house bombardira has left about sixty years. It is possible to get to a fortress from a South side through the saved gate. Defensive works looked so impressively, that Frenchmen, having regretted kernels so at storm and have not dared. Captains of all passing by ships should pay to the chief of garrison on 18 shillings, on battle readiness maintenance. Defaulters like would not be, and if those and were, now it is necessary to search for them at the bottom of a gulf.

Today the fort is thrown. Its old stones are exposed to pernicious influences of damp winds of Caribbean sea. Its guns any more do not represent any threat. However they will remind still for a long time of the drama events occurring once in British Empire, for ever lost the colonies.
