Fort Canning Park, an iconic hilltop landmark has witnessed many of Singapore’s historical milestones.
The hill once sited the palaces of 14th century Kings and served as the Headquarters of the Far East Command Centre and British Army Barracks.
The decision to surrender Singapore to the Japanese on 15 February 1942 was also made on the hill, in the Underground Far East Command Centre, commonly known as Battle Box.

Trust us, once you visit this place, you will want to keep coming back.
