Fort Tabanio, Military fortification in Tanah Laut Regency, Indonesia

Fort Tabanio stands as a quadrangular defense structure with dimensions of 56.5 centimeters in height and 89.5 centimeters in width in South Kalimantan.

The Dutch East India Company constructed Fort Tabanio in 1791 following a trade monopoly agreement with the Sultan of Banjarmasin signed in 1779.

The fort represents the intersection of Dutch colonial military architecture with Indonesian defensive structures, reflecting the region's complex heritage through its design.

Visitors can reach Fort Tabanio through local transportation options in Tanah Laut Regency, where archaeological remains and a moat reveal the original structure.

The fort served as a strategic point for controlling pepper trade, fisheries, and gold mines in the Palaihari area during the colonial period.
