Round Tower 圓塔















它 ... 见证了布洛克家族的辉煌。
它 ... 见证了第二次世界大战的烽火。
它 ... 见证了日本皇军的统治。
它 ... 见证了大英帝国殖民地的延伸。
它 ... 见证了砂拉越参组马来西亚的史实。
它 ... 见证了一个傻小子对着它猛拍照的过程。




It has witnessed
... the glory of the Brooke dynasty.
... the flames of the Second World War.
... the Japanese occupation.
... the extension of the British empire.
... the formation of Malaysia.
... the process of a silly guy frantically taking its pictures.







Round Tower (or Round Fort) was built in 1886.
The actual reason for building the tower is still a mystery, some said it was originally planned as a fort in times of emergency.


At one time, it formed part of the Kuching Court House Complex.


It now houses the Sarawak Craft Council.
