Altre informazioni:
The Kuala Kedah Fort, located in Kedah, Malaysia, has a long history dating back to the late 18th century. The fort was built by Sultan Muhammed Jiwa Zainal Adilin II in 1771 to protect the state of Kedah from potential invasions, particularly from the sea. The fort was strategically positioned at the mouth of the Kedah River, serving as a defensive structure against maritime threats. Its location allowed it to control and monitor maritime activities, including trade and military movements. While the fort itself served primarily as a defensive structure, a lighthouse was later added to enhance maritime navigation in the region. The lighthouse provided crucial guidance to ships navigating through the waters near Kedah, helping them avoid potential hazards and safely reach their destinations. Over the years, the Kuala Kedah Fort and its lighthouse have undergone various renovations and modifications to maintain their functionality and historical significance. Today, they stand as important landmarks that reflect the region's rich history and cultural heritage, attracting visitors interested in learning about Malaysia's maritime past and architectural legacy.
