The Fort Cornwallis is located directly in front of Old Esplanade and in the Padang Kota Lama.
Look for this landmark : Taman Kota Lama along Jalan Tun Syed Sheh Barakbah
Fort Cornwallis was built on the site of Sir Francis Light's historic landing in 1786. Originally a wooden stockade, it is now a concrete structure and currently houses cannons, a history gallery, cafe, handicraft and souvenir centre as well as an open-air amphitheatre.
We visited the Fort Cornwallis during our recent visit to Penang and it was an experience taking in the history of the area and Penang.
