Fort St. George
Fort St. George (or historically, White Town is the first English (later British) fortress in India, founded in 1639[2] in the coastal city of Madras, the modern city of Chennai. The construction of the fort provided the impetus for further settlements and trading activity, in what was originally an uninhabited land. Thus, it is a feasible contention to say that the city evolved around the fortress. The fort currently houses the Tamil Nadu legislative assembly and other official buildings.

The average width of the beach is 300 m (980 ft) and the width at the widest stretch is 437 m (1,434 ft). Bathing and swimming at Marina Beach are legally prohibited because of the dangers, as the undercurrent is very turbulent.
