Buona Vista Battery, Military fortification in Singapore.

The Buona Vista Battery contained two 15-inch guns positioned on concrete foundations with underground storage facilities for ammunition and supplies.

Built during the late 1930s as part of Singapore's defense system, the battery was partially destroyed by British forces in February 1942 before Japanese occupation.

The fortification stands as a representation of Singapore's military engineering capabilities and defense strategies before World War II.

Located at 333 Clementi Road, the former battery site currently houses modern structures with no visible traces of the original military installations.

Ground penetrating radar studies conducted in 2010 revealed extensive underground chambers and passageways beneath the surface near the Number 2 gun position.
