Fort Siloso

MilitaryHistoryClosed · Opens 10amFreeBeach Station (Sentosa Express)

Built by the British in the 1880s to guard the western approach to Singapore's harbour, Fort Siloso is the last surviving coastal fort in Singapore. It was used as a prisoner-of-war camp during the Japanese occupation and was declared a national monument in 2022. Visitors can walk through original gun emplacements and tunnels, see the wax-figure Surrender Chambers depicting the 1942 British and 1945 Japanese surrenders, and cross the 181-metre treetop Skywalk connecting to Siloso Point.
