Benteng VOC Martello Overview

Fort Martello, situated on Kelor Island in the Seribu Islands of Jakarta, stands as a testament to the colonial era of the Dutch East India Company (VOC). Constructed in the 17th century, this fortification was erected by the VOC as a strategic defense against potential Portuguese assaults. Reflecting the historical rivalry and maritime conflicts of the era, Fort Martello represents a tangible reminder of Indonesia's colonial past and the enduring legacies of European colonial powers in the region.
