Established in
1859 as an arms store, barracks and hospital, Fort Canning
is now a park overlooking Orchard Road. It contains
memorials of Singapore's early history dating back to the
14th century and Sir Stamford Raffles' personal bungalow.
Look out also for the Spice Garden, a small replica of the
original 19-hectare tract Raffles established in 1822 as the
first experimental and botanical garden in Singapore. Fort
Canning is also a popular venue for the arts, including
sculpture exhibitions, plays and open-air ballet.
