Chennai - The Gateway to the South
Chennai Tourism, Chennai Beach City
Introduction:
The pride of Chennai (Madras), the Marina Beach is one of the world's longest beaches running 13 km in length. Fort St. George, located on the seashore near the harbour, was built by the East India Company in 1640 A.D. The Fort is the first bastion of British power in India. Today, it houses the TamilNadu Legislative Assembly. The British influence on Chennai (Madras) is evident as one goes through the city. A number of beautiful places like Fort St. George, Raj Bhavan, the Central Station and the National Art Gallery are silent reminders of a by-gone era.
