Fort Marlborough, British colonial fortress in Bengkulu City, Indonesia.
The stone fort stands on an artificial hill with thick brick walls, four corner bastions, and a dry moat encircling its rectangular structure.
The East India Company constructed Fort Marlborough between 1713 and 1719 under Governor Joseph Collett as a defensive fortification for their trading operations.
The fort exhibits British architectural influences with its cross-shaped design, arched entrance, and military defensive features from the colonial period.
Visitors can reach the fort via Sudirman Street and Bencoolen Street, with regular public transportation services from Fatmawati Airport and Panorama Market.
Fort Marlborough served as a temporary prison for Indonesia's first president, Sukarno, during his internal exile under Dutch administration.
