St George's Harbour is one of the most picturesque ports in the Caribbean, nestled within an extinct volcanic crater and guarded by a series of fortresses on the other.  Althugh St George's was founded by the French, the city was renamed in honour of King George III. 

St George's is divided into two parts, linked by a Victorian tunnel.  On the harbour side is the horseshoe-shaped Careenage, which lines the waterfront and is flanked by shops and restaurants.  The Grenada National Museum is housed in former French barracks dating to the beginning of the 18th century, and explores the culture and history of the island. 

Protecting the town from the headland is Fort George, which is now a police station, and a great view of the town can be seen from the battlements. 

The city's finest buildings can be seen perched on the hillside in Church Street, such as York House, where the Parliament sits and the Supreme Court presides.  St George's Anglican Church, built in 1825, is also in this vicinity, as is Government House, the official residence of the Governor-General. 

The bustling Market Square could be visited on a Saturday morning, where you can see the colourful array of fruit, vegetables and spices on sale.
