Famous Landmarks
Inner Harbor
39.2904°N, 76.6122°W
Baltimore's Inner Harbor, redeveloped in the 1970s under Mayor William Donald Schaefer's leadership, became the world's model for urban waterfront regeneration. Lined by the National Aquarium (1981) home to over 17,000 animals, the Maryland Science Center, and the historic 1854 USS Constellation, it now forms the living heart of Charm City.
Fort McHenry
39.2904°N, 76.6122°W
Fort McHenry, completed in 1803 at the mouth of Baltimore Harbor, entered history on September 14, 1814 when it withstood 25 hours of British bombardment during the War of 1812. The flag raised at dawn inspired Francis Scott Key to write the poem that became "The Star-Spangled Banner", the US national anthem since 1931. The fort is today the only site designated both National Monument and Historic Shrine.
Federal Hill
39.2904°N, 76.6122°W
Federal Hill, a 70-foot bluff overlooking the Inner Harbor, takes its name from the national celebration of May 4, 1788 marking Maryland's ratification of the Constitution. Transformed into a public park in 1880, it offers from its lawns the finest panoramic view of the harbor and downtown. The surrounding row-house neighborhood, listed on the National Register, preserves its 19th-century charm.
