Fort Siloso
Fort Siloso is the only preserved British coastal fortification in
Singapore. A recreation of life at the fort, presented through the
use of archival documents and footage, life-sized figures of soldiers
and simulated firing of guns, provides a unique chance to look into
Singapore's colonial past.
History of Fort Siloso - Built in the 1880s on Sentosa's western end,
Fort Siloso protected the western entrance to the Singapore harbour.
During World War II, the guns of Fort Siloso engaged Japanese forces
in the Battle for Singapore, even firing landwards in support of the
British troops.
