Fort King George

Scarborough, Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago

---

Fort King George, located on a hill overlooking Scarborough in Tobago, is the island’s most important historic fort and one of the best-preserved colonial military sites in the Caribbean.

Built by the British in the late 18th century, it was designed to protect Tobago from invasion and offers spectacular panoramic views of the town, coastline, and sea. The fort features original cannons, military buildings, and the Tobago Historical Museum, where visitors can learn about the island’s colonial past, cultural heritage, and varied history under European rule. Today, it is a major landmark that combines history, architecture, and some of Tobago’s finest viewpoints.
