Fort Canning Hill, Historical park at Central Area, Singapore.
Fort Canning Hill is a central Singapore park with multiple themed gardens laid across a hillside location. The grounds feature historical structures, walking trails, and planted areas that connect different sections of the site.
The hilltop was originally a royal settlement in the 14th century before being converted into a British military fortress in the 19th century. This transformation marked a major turning point in the site's history.
The site is named after a British colonial administrator and visitors can encounter remnants from different historical periods as they walk through the grounds. The gardens and pathways connect stories from various eras that have shaped this hilltop.
The park is open around the clock and features illuminated pathways that are especially helpful during daylight hours. Multiple entrances allow easy access from different sides of the grounds.
Underground lies a former World War II command center that is now open to visitors. This hidden military facility reveals how the site served during wartime.
