The
British built Fort Canning Park between 1859 and 1861 as an arms store,
barracks, and hospital. It is sacred to the Malays, as it is where early
Malay rulers were laid to rest. It is also where Sir Stamford Raffles
built his own bungalow, which is Singapore's first Government House. However,
it is now a park overlooking Orchard Road. It contains memorials of Singapore's
early history dating back to the 14th Century and a Spice Garden, a small
replica of the original 19-hectare tract Raffles established in 1822 as
the first experimental and botanical garden in Singapore. Fort Canning
is also a popular venue for the arts, including sculpture exhibitions,
plays, and ballet. There are no operating hours.
