The wooden stockade that Captain Francis Light had assembled upon disembarking in 1786 was rebuilt almost two decades later with convict labor into a major fort, much of which remained intact. Named after Charles Cornwallis, the Governor-General of India, in whose charge Penang was annexed, it was to protect the island from French invasion. The bowels of the fort now contain a history gallery, a handicraft and souvenir shop, and an open-air amphitheater, where local music and dance festivals are frequently staged.
