Genel bilgiler
Fort St George, Hindistan'ın Tamil Nadu eyaletinin başkenti Chennai'de (Madras) yer alan tarihi bir kaledir. Hindistanda'ki ilk İngiliz (daha sonra Britanya) kalesidir.
1644 yılında İngilizler tarafından inşa edilen kale zamanla etrafında büyümeye başlayan kentin çekirdeği haline geldi. Kalenin inşası, daha fazla yerleşim yeri oluşturmak ve ticaret faaliyetlerini artırmak için boş bir arazide gerçekleşti.
