The Battery is a landmark defensive seawall and promenade in Charleston, South Carolina. Named for a pre-Civil War coastal defense artillery battery originally built by the British at the site, it stretches along the lower shores of the Charleston peninsula, bordered by the Ashley and Cooper Rivers, which meet here to form Charleston Harbor.
