Fort Nassau, Dutch colonial fortification in Ternate City, Indonesia.

Fort Nassau stands with stone walls and defensive bulwarks overlooking the waters of Ternate, featuring traditional Dutch military architecture from the 1600s.

The Dutch East India Company constructed Fort Nassau during the 17th century to establish control over the clove trade in the Maluku Islands region.

The fortification represents the intersection of Indonesian sultanate traditions and Dutch colonial influence during the spice trade period in Southeast Asia.

Visitors can reach the fort by following the coastal road from Ternate City center, with the structure visible from several vantage points.

The fort maintains its original foundation and defensive positions, demonstrating the strategic placement used to monitor maritime activities in colonial times.
