Fort Canning Park

Fort Canning Essentials

Fort Canning hill serves as a historical landmark where 14th-century Malay kings once ruled and the British surrendered Singapore during WWII. This collection features the Battlebox underground bunker, the Neo-Palladian National Museum of Singapore, and the 1908 Central Fire Station. Architectural highlights include the MICA Building's 927 rainbow-colored shutters and the iconic spiral staircase of the Tree Tunnel. The Old National Library Gate remains as a red-brick vestige of the city’s mid-century civic architecture.
