Overview

Fort Cornwallis is one of the first European structures in Penang and is the largest standing fort in Malaysia. Named after Charles Marquis Cornwallis this star-shaped fort has 10 feet high walls with a park inside. Located close to the Esplanade, next to the Victoria Memorial Clock, this fort was designed by Francis Light to protect the harbour from possible French attacks.

Description

Fort Cornwallis has its own charm. Erected in 1786, Fort Cornwallis was built with a purpose of protecting Penang against pirates, Kedah forces and French attacks. As you stepped inside the Fort, you can see various structures including a chapel, prison cells, ammunitions store, a harbor light, the original flagstaff and several cannons. Among these cannons, there is the infamous Sri Rambai a brass cannon dated back 1603. The innards of the fort have a history gallery, a handicraft and souvenir shop, and an open-air amphitheatre.
