Fort George, Grenada

Fort George in Granada, over 300 years old, was also the site of the execution of Maurice Bishop, a revolutionary leader whose actions resulted in the US invasion in 1983. In this diliapidated and decaying diet, a plaque to him still sits in the main courtyard. Part of this building is currently the police headquarters. Mostly however, it is a fascinating mix of crumbling buildings being reclaimed by nature, and providing for fantastic photos.
