(BUKIT PUTERI) PRINCESS HILL

Bukit Puteri is a 208-metre hill that is rich in history. Situated next to the famous Istana Maziah, the name literally means The Princess Hill. It was formerly a defense fortress known to be built in 1820’s. At present what remains intact are a large brass bell known as ‘genta’ struck and chimed in different tone as a message to the surrounding town folks, family of cannons, flagpole, a lighthouse, cemetery and a fort. Bukit Puteri also lies next to the new Waterfront Heritage Bazaar.
