Fort Matthew

Fort Matthew is the island's largest fort and has served as a battleground throughout the mental asylum's history. The interesting original features, such as bathrooms, kitchens, subterranean tunnels, and cells for detaining the violently mad, date from the 18th century and are still in situ today.

The fort's vistas are just breathtaking. The town of St. George, the new cruise port, St. George's University, the surrounding countryside, and the Caribbean Sea can all be seen from this vantage point. There are guided tours available, as well as the option to rent out the facilities for private events.

Fort Matthew, which has served as a war and an insane asylum, is a physical testament to the Grenadian people's struggle. This 1500-yard fort, which was named after the governor at the time, Governor Edward Matthew, is the largest on the island. Bathrooms and army kitchens from the 18th century, underground tunnels, and prisons are just a few of the fascinating elements that have been preserved in their natural state. Standing at one end of this enthralling building, you'll be treated to a breathtaking view of St. George, including the Melville Street Cruise Port, St. George's University, the Carenage, and much more.

The Ministry of Tourism may arrange for guided tours and the facilities can also be used for private functions. Fort Matthew is still standing on Richmond Hill in St. George, with a rich history that you can nearly breathe!
