Singapore’s only preserved coastal fort stands as witness to one of the most tempestuous chapters in local history.
In the 19th century, Singapore became an important sea trading port for the British. To defend the island from sea invasion, Fort Siloso was once one of the three forts that were built on Sentosa Island (once known as Pulau Belakang Mati.
During World War II, the Japanese troops invaded Singapore from the north through peninsula Malaya and the guns in Fort Siloso were turned landwards to support the ground troops.
Today, being the only preserved coastal fort in Singapore, Fort Siloso is a historical attraction with a rich memorabilia of pre-WWII and WWII-era guns and remains of fortified military structures and tunnels.
Admission into Fort Siloso is FREE.
