Fort Cornwallis aims to show how life would have been for the British governors and civil servants that were based in Malaysia during colonial times (early 1800s). Original colonial structures, artifacts and authentically dressed staff and guides all help to paint the picture for you.As you approach the fort, an imposing statue of Sir Francis Light is the first thing that comes into view. It was Light who oversaw the building of the fort in 1786, in order to protect the British trade route from potential attacks from pirates or the French. The fort was originally constructed from palm trunks, and the star-shaped, stone structure that you see today was completed in 1810.History buffs will love the chance to wander around Fort Cornwall’s original features. Because it was never attacked, the structure remains much as the soldiers and civil servants who worked here would have known it. Examine the gunpowder magazine, imagine a prayer service in the original chapel, and have your photo taken behind the bars of the jail. Don’t miss the Sri Rambai Cannon, the largest of Fort Cornwallis’s 17 cannons. The Sri Rambai has a colorful history that dates back to 1606, encompassing Dutch, Portuguese and British owners. Interestingly, the historic cannon is revered locally as a fertility aid. You may see women dropping flowers into its hole, hoping to increase their chances of becoming pregnant.Guides dressed in bright red, colonial regalia are on-hand to offer tours for a small charge. But you’re also welcome to walk around the fort by yourself, which is easily done in an hour. Light refreshments and souvenirs are available at the kiosk near the entrance.Fort Cornwallis is located in Georgetown, easily accessible by public transportation and close to the Victoria Memorial Clock on the Esplanade. The fort is open daily and there is a nominal charge for entry ## Fort Cornwallis Travel Guide Video ## Plan a trip to see Fort Cornwallis Price found within the past 48 hours.

(303 reviews) The room was lovely, extremely comfortable bed and pillows, regular room service with cleaning, my only frustration was nobody on the desk spoke decent English, so the communication was difficult, also you couldn’t order a coffee until 11am which I thought was ridiculous as when I was heading out earlier of a morning it would have been nice to grab a take away coffee, and also they only have full cream milk, which I can’t have, so many people require either soy, almond or skim milk.. also when I enquired at the desk about accessing Netflix and YouTube for my tv in my room, I was advised you only have access link if you have a android mobile, and I have an I phone as alot of people do, I found this rather disappointing.. the area location on the beach was absolutely beautiful..
