• Fort St. George, established in 1639 in the coastal city of Madras, now known as Chennai, was the first English fortress in India. Its construction spurred additional settlements and trade in an area that was initially unoccupied. • Kapaleeshwarar Temple is a Hindu temple located in Mylapore, Chennai, dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple features Karpagambal, a form of Shiva’s consort Parvati worshipped locally. It was built around the 7th century CE and exemplifies Dravidian architectural style. • The Government Museum, found in the Government Museum Complex in Egmore, Chennai, focuses on human history and culture. Founded in 1851, it is the second oldest museum in India, following the Indian Museum in Kolkata, and ranks as the tenth oldest museum globally. Its collections are rich in archaeology and numismatics. • A key feature of Fort St. George is its museum, known as the Fort Museum, which showcases a diverse array of antiquities arranged in various galleries. Visitors can view the Portrait Gallery displaying portraits and oils of notable Madras Governors like Queen Victoria and Sir Arthur Havelock, or examine the Indo-French Gallery that contains artifacts such as clocks, stamps, furniture, lampshades, and ancient British coins. • St. Mary’s Church is another notable landmark within Fort St. George. Recognized as the oldest Anglican church in Asia, it features detailed wooden furnishings, glass windows, and shining teak plaques. Established in 1678, the church has withstood the test of time and is a site of significance to visit.
