Fort Amsterdam, Dutch colonial fort in Hila, Indonesia.
Fort Amsterdam features a three-floor blockhouse with 47-centimeter-thick walls, measuring 16 by 16 meters within a square defensive perimeter of 52 meters.
The Dutch East India Company constructed Fort Amsterdam in 1637 on the site of a former Portuguese trade lodge established by Francisco Serrão in 1512.
German botanist Georg Marggraf Rumphius conducted extensive plant research while residing at Fort Amsterdam between 1660 and 1670, documenting regional flora.
The fort entrance lies on the eastern wall, with additional doorless passages on the north and south sides allowing access to different sections.
The ground floor contains both a prison and a gunpowder storage room, while the upper floors utilize wooden construction materials.
