Fort Siloso, located on Sentosa Island, Singapore, stands as a preserved coastal fort that offers a glimpse into the country's colonial past and its role in World War II. Initially built by the British in the 1880s to protect the entrance to Singapore's harbor, it is the only remaining coastal gun battery from the twelve that made up 'Fortress Singapore' at the start of World War II. Fort Siloso has been restored as a military museum, displaying its history through interactive exhibits, and it includes gun emplacements, underground tunnels, and barracks. Visitors can learn about the fort's strategic importance, the soldiers' life at the barracks, and the surrender of Singapore to the Japanese in 1942 through guided tours or exploration at their own pace. In stark contrast to the lush, tropical surroundings of Sentoshalloween and the neighboring theme parks and entertainment attractions, Fort Siloso provides an important educational experience, offering insights into the significant military heritage of Singapore.
