" Fort Marlborough (Indonesian Benteng Marlborough, also known as Malabero) is an English fort located in Bengkulu City, Sumatra. It was built between 1713-1719 by the East India Company under the leadership of Governor Joseph Collett as a defensive fort for the British East India Company's Residency there. It was one of the strongest British forts in the eastern region, second only to Fort St. George in Madras, India. "

" Ideal visit time is on the afternoon you can still explore all parts of the fort and wait there to capture the perfect photos during sunset. "

" Clean, cheap, and very well-maintaned building and yard. Wide sea side view on top. Not too crowded in holiday yet still lively. Don't expect museum-like environment, it is noisy and no historical explanation. "

" Set on a hill overlooking the Indian Ocean, the fort Marlborough is a wonderful and interesting introduction for visitors to the city. With its massive walls, the fort Marlborough still stands strong and mighty as a reminder of the British occupation (1714 – 1824) in Bengkulu. The fort houses several British old engravings, old pictures, some 18th century British EIC and Dutch VOC cannons, and also a cell where the Dutch incarcerated Soekarno (later became Indonesia's first president) during his internal exile. I would rate this fort as an impressive and well-maintained piece of history, a historical attraction you shouldn't miss.
A visit to the fort Marlborough not only allows visitors to enjoy other enchanting tourist spots in the vicinity, such as the old port Tapak Paderi, the Thomas Parr monument, the old buildings of Chinatown, and the British resident's building, but also it offers great sunset sea views.
The fort Marlborough is open daily from 8 am – 6 pm, domestic visitor admission is Rp. 5,000 (about US$ 0.38) per person. As a major historical attraction which draws tourists to Bengkulu, the fort is really popular and easy to reach. From the hotel area of Panjang beach, visitors can take a yellow angkot (public city transport) for Rp 4,000 per person, or it takes about a 20-minute walk to the fort. "
