Bukit Malawati or also known as Malawati Hill, is a historic hill located in Kuala Selangor. The fortress on this hill was built in late 18th century to defend Selangor from the attack of the enemies. It is captured by the Dutch and remaned Fortress Altingsburg, the name of the Dutch Govenor General at that time. Unluckily, the Civil War that occured had destroyed this fortress which was later on taken by the British. What remains of the fortress today are some cannons, foundation stones, poisoned well and colonial museums. Other attractions include a light house, royal museum, a viewing tower, a 200 year old angsana tree and the monkeys.
Monkeys at the foothill. There're so many of them!
