RE: 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge - Asian Sunday week #44 - the absolute winner takes 200 SBD!

in #travel6 years ago

Dear Tom @czechglobalhosts, here is my entry for Asian Sunday Photo Challenge:

Located in Bengkulu, Sumatra, Indonesia, on the shores of Tapak Paderi Beach, the Marlborough Fort is an ancient building of British colonial heritage. This Fortress has its back to the Indian Ocean and was established on an artificial hill overlooking the city of Bengkulu.

Fort Marlborough is the largest bastion of Asian relics of the British Government at the time of colonization in the 18th century. The fort was originally functioning as a defense. But over time, this building then changed the function into a trading center.

Fort Marlborough has a very strong appeal because the design is still original 17th-century design, with no significant renovation. This Fort was founded by the East India Company (EIC) between 1714-1719 under the leadership of the governor Joseph Callet. The fort was built as a British fortress.

Hope you like it...
Have a lovely day...

Best Regards
ZR
