Fort Cornwallis Penang
Location:
Padang Kota Lama, Penang, Malaysia
Tel: +60 4 261 6663 (Penang Tourist Centre)
Description:
The wooden stockade that Captain Francis Light had assembled upon disembarking in 1786 was rebuilt almost two decades later with convict labour into a major fort, much of which remained intact. Named after Charles Cornwallis, the Governor-General of India, in whose charge Penang was annexed, it was to protect the island from French invasion.
