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
Singapore's 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
forces.
