Gates of Fort Canning

The Gates of Fort Canning have since become a landmark of Fort Canning Hill. They are entrance to the fort itself, and bear massive doors with. The gate and adjoining wall are all that is left of Fort Canning, which was built between 1859 and 1861. Previously, the hill was called Government Hill, but was renamed Fort Canning after Lord Charles John Canning, the Governor General of India.
