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 Bencoolen. It was one of the strongest British forts in the eastern region, second only to Fort St. George in Madras, India. ==Building== The fort is made of bricks 50 to 180 centimeters in thickness. The earthquakes of 2000, which registered 7.3 on the Richter scale, and of 2007, with its 3.5-meter tsunami, had no effect on the strongly built fort.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title= Marlborough Benteng bersejarah nan perkasa ) 〕 The fort has a rectangular layout, with an arrowhead-shaped bastion on each corner. The entrance to the fort is in the southwest, protected by a ravelin. A dry moat follows the trace of the fort. A wooden bridge spans the ditch that separates the main building from the front building. The southwest side has an arch entrance with a wooden door.〔 The fort encompasses 2.7 hectares, and stands on a site of 4.4 hectares. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fort Marlborough」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
