Fort Cornwallis
Fort Cornwallis, named after the
Governor-General in Bengal in the late
most interesting historical landmarks in
Georgetown. It is located close to the
Esplanade, next to the Victoria Memorial
Clock.
The fort's walls, roughly 10 feet high, are
laid out in a star-shape formation. A stroll
along the perimeters takes roughly 10
minutes. Inside the fort, you can still see
some of the original structures built over a
century ago, including a chapel, prison
cells, ammunitions storage area, a harbour
light once used to signal incoming ships,
the original flagstaff and several old bronze
cannons, one of which is a Dutch cannon
called the Seri Rambai, dated 1603. An
interesting note about the Seri Rambai is
that some locals believe that this particular
cannon can have a positive effect on a
woman's fertility.
Today, this privately managed historical
site is popular among visitors. It is
equipped with a tourist information kiosk, a
cafe, an open-air amphitheatre, a history
gallery, a souvenir centre as well as guides
who can take you around the fort grounds
and provide you with a glimpse into the
fort's history.
