Fort Cornwallis Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Originally made of wood, the castle was converted into a stone castle between 1808 and 1810. For its size, Fort Cornwallis isn't exactly spectacular. Only the outer wall has remained, with a pleasant park within it, as well as souvenir shops, an amphitheater and food stalls. There are several cannons on display here, which were set up by the Dutch and were looted by pirates but have since been recovered. There is a small museum inside, which briefly introduces the history of the castle and Penang.

historical place Along with the atmosphere by the sea 👍🥰👍
At Magic World Penang, most of the illustrations will make you think many times to understand the attractions you are seeing
There is a cafe, an open hall, a history gallery, a souvenir center and a guide who can take you on a tour of the fort and explain its history.
Its function is more administrative than defensive. Throughout its history, this fort has never been involved in any battles.
It is now the main tourist attraction in Georgetown, Penang. Nowadays it houses a history gallery, and a souvenir shop.
One of the main highlights of the monumental site are the old mounted cannons that decorate the outer ramparts of the fort.
