Attractions

Places of interest include its Chinese temples and colourful fish market. It developed as a trading port on the routes between Asia and Europe, but had to abandon its role as an independent city following the Dutch conquest of 1667. Fort Rotterdam dates from the colonial period; once a military and administrative centre for the whole region, today it is a symbol of the period of Dutch rule and has a small museum.
