Fort Charlotte (called Fort Carlota by the Spanish) was the seat of Spanish
government in Mobile. The fort, located on the site of the French Fort Conde, had been a British outpost prior to Spain’s seizure of the area during the American Revolution. In an effort to secure possession of the disputed region of West Florida, General James Wilkinson seized the fort without a fight on April 13, 1813.  

A reconstruction of Fort Conde today sits on the site of Fort Charlotte in downtown Mobile, Alabama. The fort features a museum focusing on the history of the site, and serves as a welcome center for the city of Mobile.
