The ruins of Fort George atop Gage Hill circa 1870s
Gage Hill is a topographical feature in central Pensacola. It is the eponymous hill of the North Hill neighborhood, its highest point located roughly at the intersection of Cervantes and Palafox Streets. It was named for British General Thomas Gage. It was renamed Mount Miguel by the Spanish after 1781 and is also known as Palafox Hill.
Fort George was built atop the hill for its strategic advantage. It is now home to Lee Square.
