Fort Siloso

"Built in the late 19th century, the fort was part of a network of coastal defenses designed to protect Singapore from naval attacks, particularly during World War II. It is the only preserved coastal fort in Singapore and is now a popular tourist attraction. The fort features several well-preserved structures, including barracks, gun emplacements, and tunnels, providing visitors with a glimpse into Singapore's military past. One of the fort's main attractions is its collection of large coastal artillery pieces, including the famous 15-inch guns that were once used for defense. Visitors can explore the fort through a self-guided tour that includes informative exhibits detailing the fort's history, the events of World War II, and Singapore's role in the war. In addition to its historical significance, Fort Siloso offers beautiful views of the surrounding landscape and the South China Sea. The fort is accessible via the Fort Siloso Skywalk, an elevated walkway that provides a scenic route through lush tropical vegetation and offers panoramic views. The fort also hosts various educational programs and events throughout the year, enhancing the visitor experience by providing deeper insights into the history and importance of this landmark."
