Fort Nongqayi, Colonial fort in Eshowe, South Africa.
The triangular stone fort stands with three circular towers at its corners, displaying traditional British military architecture from the late 19th century.
Built in 1883 to house Zulu Native Police called Nongqayi, the fort served as a training ground and military post until the end of Anglo-Boer War.
The Zululand Historical Museum within the fort exhibits military artifacts, traditional Zulu items, and documents the Norwegian missionary presence in the region.
Visitors can explore three museums, enjoy meals at Adams Outpost Restaurant, purchase souvenirs at Hairy Canary, and arrange guided educational tours.
The fort houses extensive research materials about Zululand history and maintains a collection of furniture belonging to historical figure John Dunn.
