Architectural Heritage

Chennai

“The architecture of Chennai (erstwhile Madras) during the colonial period reflected a blend of European and indigenous styles, shaped by British, Portuguese, and Dutch influences. Key structures included Fort St. George, built in 1644 CE, which became the nucleus of British administration. Indo-Saracenic architecture emerged prominently in the late 19th century, blending Gothic, Mughal, and Dravidian elements, seen in landmarks like the Madras High Court and Victoria Public Hall. Churches such as St. Mary’s Church, showcased Baroque and neoclassical designs. Colonial bungalows with verandas and high ceilings adapted to the tropical climate, defining the city’s architectural identity during British rule.”
