It's hard to imagine that a Spanish Fort once stood at the current location of Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark, just a few blocks from Busch Stadium and Ballpark Village. Fort San Carlos saw the only battle west of the Mississippi River during the American Revolution when the British led an unsuccessful attack on Saint Louis. 300+ St. Louisans both white and slaves came together to defend their city on May 26, 1780.
