Fort of Baguia

Baucau Municipality, Timor-Leste

A fort was constructed in strategically-located Baguia, East Timor in the early 20th century. The fort was used as an administrative centre, prison, and residence during Portuguese rule. Use of the fort continued under Indonesian rule, although the structure began to decay. The fort was restored following a national government initiative in 2014 and now serves as a tourist accommodation.
