Fort St George
Fort St George in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, is the first English fortress built in India, established in 1644 by the British East India Company to protect their trading interests on the Coromandel Coast. This white-walled fort gave rise to the city of Madras (now Chennai) and served as the administrative and military center throughout British rule.
Inside, it houses the historic St Mary’s Church, the oldest Anglican church in India, and a museum showcasing colonial artifacts like uniforms, weapons, paintings, and letters from British officials. The fort complex today contains the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly and government offices, blending colonial architecture with local influences and standing as a symbol of Chennai’s colonial heritage and history.
