In the 19th century, Singapore became an important sea trading port for the British. To defend the island from sea invasion, Fort Siloso was one of three forts that were built on Sentosa Island (once known as Pulau Blakang Mati).
During World War II, the Japanese troops invaded Singapore from the north through peninsula Malaya and the guns in Fort Siloso were turned landwards to support the ground troops. Today, being the only preserved coastal fort in Singapore, Fort Siloso is a historical attraction with a rich memorabilia of pre-WWII and WWII-era guns and remains of fortified military structures and tunnels.
As part of its SG50 celebrations, Sentosa launched a new 11-storey (181 meters) Skywalk (14 Jul 2015) that leads us to Fort Siloso. The elevated bridge give us scenic view of beyond Sentosa. I am sure it will be a deserved trip up here.
The Skywalk is right beside Shangri La Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa Hotel.
That is HabourFront centre and Vivocity shopping mall on the right.
The elegant and exquisite Private Condominium "The Reflection" on the left.
