Fort Siloso is the sole surviving coastal gun battery from the twelve such batteries which made up ‘Fortress Singapore’ at the start of World War Two. ‘Siloso’ is a Philippine word meaning ‘Jealous Person’.

The fort is situated on the island of Sentosa (formerly Blakang Mati — the ‘Island behind the Dead’) which is just south of Singapore Island. The Fort, one of four coastal gun batteries which were constructed on Blakang Mati, covers an area of four hectares (ten acres) at the western tip of the island.
