There are six pointed star with space for 12 large cannons to protect all approaches from any directions. Still remaining deep moat which built by Dutch and there were two prison cells and there is a well at centre to provide water to the inside.

In late time this place has been used by British for their official works. Even today colonial era evidence still remaining which used for increase the protection.
