Benteng de Kock played a key defensive role during its time. Now a historic site, you can only imagine some of the scenes its fortified walls have witnessed.
Benteng de Kock is a great place to begin discovering Bukittinggi. This history-filled fortress is recommended by fellow travelers, but it isn't the only thing to do here. Pencil in time for other sights like Jam Gadang, Pasar Atas, and Bukittinggi Clock Tower to make the most of what the area has to offer.
