Benteng VOC

Over the last 50 years, the stonework of this once-substantial fort has been pillaged, but the site has good views across town to the Java Sea. The small leafy hilltop is something of a lovers' lane these days, although veterans occasionally visit the cemetery nearby; this is the last resting place of a few Dutch colonials.
