S	S P on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An Iconic Canon Fort in Melaka. Remember to take more selfies and photographs here, because this is one of the biggest canon fort in Melaka, and is also one of the best maintained.
a	andre santoso on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the historical landmark in Malacca. The fort still in a good condition and there's an information at the site.
D	Doan NT on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ After the fall of Melaka from the Portuguese to the Dutch on 14 January 1641, new measures were taken to ensure the safety of Melaka. The Dutch fortified the walls of Melaka city, which further strengthened the existing city’s defences left by the Portuguese. The Dutch still received threats from outsiders and locals in a bid to wrestle back the city of Melaka. The fortification of the city’s walls involved the building of a bastion or control tower strategically located at the mouth of Melaka River, the focal point for trade and stopover for international ships.

L	Life Café on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good historical structure. I was hoping that they put up some lights in this area so people could appreciate the place even at night time.

Original foundations found in this location and recreation is an example of its construction and helps to show the expansive size of the old fort Caution with small children - No handrail on the back side with a high drop
m	macedonboy on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited back in Feb before the lockdown. The Bastion Middelburg is a bastion and part of the fortifications built by the Dutch when they ruled this part of Malaysia. It certainly looks like a bastion, although the walls are all gone so it just kind of sits there on it’s on. There are some small cannons on the ramparts, just to complete the look. It’s not a major thing to see, more of a landmark and it’s right next to Dutch Square. It’s kind of fun to take a look at night too, because it’s lit up then.
l	liliankuan 1 Kuan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Almost gone all the wall of a fort, Bastion Middleburg, left some cannons, built by Dutch. A nice piece of historical landmark, next to Dutch Square and also nearby Malacca River. ( somehow, the views here is nice in the evening )
