Exploring the Fullerton Building, Cavenagh Bridge, and Victoria Theatre

#europeanarchitecture Expanding on the European architecture in these landmarks gives a deeper insight into Singapore's rich colonial history. The Fullerton Building's neoclassical style is a prime example of British architectural influence in the early 20th century. With its massive Doric columns and intricate detailing on the facade, it stands as a symbol of power and prestige from its time as the General Post Office. Inside, the building has been restored and transformed into a luxury hotel, but you can still see the historical touches, like the grand staircases and the high, ornate ceilings. Cavenagh Bridge, which spans the Singapore River, is a rare piece of history. It’s the only suspension bridge from Singapore’s colonial era that’s still in its original form. The bridge’s elegant cast-iron design contrasts with the towering modern buildings surrounding it today. Its Victorian-style lamp posts and decorative railings add a European touch to the otherwise busy cityscape, making it feel like you’re stepping back in time when you cross it. Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall have an even more striking European design. Originally two separate buildings—the town hall and the theatre—it was unified in the early 1900s with the addition of the iconic clock tower, which has become a landmark in itself. Together, these buildings offer a glimpse of Singapore’s colonial past while standing tall in the midst of the city’s modern skyline. #100waysoftravel #singapore
