Description

This is the story of Fort St George in Chennai. The first English fortress laid the foundations for the British Empire in India. To step into the Fort's walls today is to walk through nearly four centuries of stories: of merchants turned empire builders, of soldiers and saints, of weavers and warriors, of marriages and betrayals.
