High on beautiful Morne Jaloux ridge lie the spectacular Grenadian
forts: a truly panoramic view of St. George’s town, portions of the breathtaking
east coast, majestic mountains, lush green valleys, and the tropical rainforests
of the interior. Take a journey back into Grenadian history and learn
about the French colonial powers that built the fort in 1779. Many visitors
and locals state that Fort Frederick is the most attractive and best-preserved
fort in Grenada. The commanding view from the fort made it possible for
troops to observe ships approaching from great distances; therefore, the
fort was the principal battery with the heaviest firepower on the island.
Just beside Fort Frederick lie the intricate ruins of Fort Matthew.
Whether your interests are of military origin, history, architecture, culture,
or you just want to look out over the gorgeous island, the forts and helpful
guides will enrich your visit to Grenada.
