Revisiting History, Embracing Nature - Heritage on The Hill
Join us for a leisurely stroll back into time to rediscover our rich heritage within this verdant oasis in the heart of the city.
Standing serenely amidst the bustling sprawl of the city, Fort Canning Park has plenty to be discovered and much to behold. Find out about the many historical layers of this hill which is irrefutably intertwined with the history of our nation.
Once the seat of Malay royalty in the 14th century and home to colonial governors in the 19th, it became a military base during the Second World War. Today, a display of ancient relics dating back to the 14th century as well as the Fort Gate, remnant of the fortress built in the 1860s, are reminders of Singapore’s rich past.
Explore the world of spices as you walk into the Spice Garden which was part of the original tract of Singapore's first botanical and experimental garden. Learn about the importance of spice back then as well as how it has integrated into our lives today.
Whether it is botanical or historical, learning about our heritage is really just a walk in the park.
Walk is moderately easy but will involve walking up slopes and steps so do come dressed comfortably.
