Fort George, Colonial fort ruins in Road Town, British Virgin Islands.

The remains of Fort George sit on a strategic position overlooking Baugher's Bay, with stone walls marking the original fortification structure.

Dutch settlers constructed the initial fort following an attack on the Baugher's Bay settlement in 1625, while British forces rebuilt it in the 18th century.

The fort stands as a representation of European colonial influence in the Caribbean, named after King George III of the United Kingdom.

Visitors can reach the fort ruins by following the road from Road Town center, with the site offering views across the bay and surrounding area.

The fort's location near Port Purcell indicates its original purpose of protecting a slave dungeon that existed in the vicinity.
