Description:
Built in 1705 by the French, Fort George lies on the promontory to the west of the harbor and is Grenada’s oldest fort. It was built to protect the harbor, but stands mostly derelict today. The main draw here is the spectacular 360-degree view across the town’s red-tiled roofs and church spires to the harbor and sea beyond. You’ll also spot a few of the original cannons, which are still fired on special occasions. The police headquarters currently sit on a section of the property.
