Tentang
Fakta cepat: Benteng ini menampung Tiang Bendera setinggi 46 meter, salah satu yang tertinggi di negara ini, yang seluruhnya terbuat dari kayu jati dari kapal yang membawa pemukim Inggris. Di dalam Museum Benteng, Anda dapat melihat surat asli yang ditulis oleh Robert Clive dan koleksi besar senjata dan seragam era Inggris yang membentang lebih dari 200 tahun.
Sorotan: Masuklah ke Gereja St. Mary di dalam benteng, gereja Anglikan tertua di sebelah timur Terusan Suez, tempat Robert Clive dan Elizabeth Clive menikah pada tahun 1753. Bangku kayu asli gereja dari abad ke-17 masih menampilkan ukiran inisial tentara Inggris yang pernah duduk di sana menunggu perintah perang.
Tips orang dalam
- Skip the museum's guided tour and explore at your own pace to linger over the Clive letters and original British-era paintings.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes as the grounds are expansive and you will cover a lot of paved and grassy area.
- The Flag Staff area offers the best photo opportunity with the fort's whitewashed walls contrasting against the blue sky.
- Visit on a weekday to avoid school groups that crowd the museum halls between 11 AM and 1 PM.
