Fort George, Jamaica, Colonial military monument in Port Antonio, Jamaica.
Fort George stands on the Titchfield Peninsula with thick defensive walls and remaining structures including the Munitions Building and original cannons.
Constructed in 1729 by Christian Lilly, Fort George was designed to protect Port Antonio harbor from Spanish invasions and control local maroon communities.
The fort represents British colonial military presence in Jamaica, later becoming part of Titchfield High School's educational facilities.
Visitors can access the fort grounds to examine the defense walls, inspect the artillery placement, and learn about 18th-century military architecture.
The fort's bastion design follows a smaller version of Plymouth's Royal Citadel, where its architect previously worked on construction projects.
