Fort Canning Park - Historical Singapore Hilltop Landmark With Importance And Beauty

Fort Canning Park

Many of Singapore's historical turning points have been observed by Fort Canning Park, a famous hilltop landmark. The hill once housed the castles of kings from the fourteenth century as well as the Far East Command Center's and British Army Barracks' administrative centers. Following the British establishment of a port in this area in 1819, Fort Canning Hill developed into a significant transportation hub. A flagstaff was the first communication tool erected on the hill. A time ball, a lighthouse, and a telegraph station came after this in the 19th century.
