Once a fortress defending Paramaribo, then a prison, museum and military installation, Fort Zeelandia now is a museum again where you can get a good idea of the history of this former colony.
Fort Zeelandia is a pentagonal structure, with a defensive bastion on all five corners. In the middle of the fort, you will find a courtyard with a 5-pointed star, and several buildings, some formerly used as warehouses, one holding an example of a 19th century pharmacy. It is possible to walk around most of the fort, and the views of the Suriname River are good. The museum gives a good explanation of the history of the country and the original interior of the fort. When you exit the fort, you will see a statue of Queen Wilhelmina looking out over the Suriname River - another reminder of the colonial history of this country.
