Ins & Outs of Grenada

56  SIGHTSEEING INS& House of Chocolate Paying homage to Grenada’s growing tree-to-bar chocolate industry, this mini-museum also houses a cafe with delicious chocolate treats and a small boutique filled with things made with cocoa in Grenada. Fort Matthew Right next door to Fort Frederick, and the largest on the island, Fort Matthew was completed in 1790 - the main point of defence along the Richmond Hill ridge. The underground tunnels, ammunition chambers and eighteenth century kitchen are worth exploring. Fort Frederick Built by the French in 1779, the fort was then paradoxically used by the British to defend against its constructors. The small bastion-style fort is well preserved, and offers a stunning panoramic view over St George’s and Grand Anse beach, through its grand arches. Historic Churches St George’s has four historic churches: the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Roman Catholic), St George’s Anglican Church, St Andrew’s Kirk (Presbyterian), and the Methodist Church. Sustaining considerable damage in Hurricane Ivan in 2004, and in various stages of reconstruction, there are beautiful stained-glass windows, clock towers, cast-iron bells and other original features to be seen between them. National Museum Originally a French barracks, and then the island’s first hotel, it now houses an interesting collection of artefacts, from Amerindian pottery to Napoleon’s wife’s bath tub! Art Fabrik A small boutique showcasing hand-made batik textiles and other gift items. There is a small workshop area where visitors can learn about the process of making batik.
