Fort Siloso

Fort Siloso is a preserved 19th-century coastal fort located at Siloso Point on Sentosa Island, Singapore. Built by the British in the 1880s to protect the western entrance to Keppel Harbour, it is the only preserved coastal fort in Singapore. The site features original artillery guns, tunnels, barracks and interactive exhibits documenting Singapore's coastal defence and World War II history, now operating as an open-air museum within the Sentosa heritage area.

Visitors can explore a preserved coastal fort set on a forested hill at the western tip of Sentosa. The site includes restored gun emplacements with 7-inch and 6-inch guns, underground tunnels, barracks, searchlight posts and the Surrender Chambers. Exhibits, dioramas and interpretive panels explain coastal defence history. Elevated walkways, the Fort Siloso Skywalk and jungle trails connect different batteries, offering views of the harbour and Siloso Beach area.

Constructed between 1874 and 1880s by the British colonial government as part of the coastal defence of Singapore to protect Keppel Harbour and the western approaches. Armed with 7-inch rifled muzzle-loading guns and later 6-inch quick-firing guns, it formed part of the 'Fortress Singapore' system. Played a role in World War II coastal defence and was later used by the Singapore Armed Forces before being preserved as a museum in 1974.

Represents Singapore's military heritage and coastal defence history. Preserved as a heritage attraction showcasing colonial-era fort architecture, wartime history and national defence evolution, serving as an educational site for visitors to understand Singapore's historical strategic importance.
