History of Otanaha Fortress
The Otanaha Fortress, built in the early 15th century, stands as a testament to Gorontalo’s historical depth. Originally constructed to repel colonial forces, the fortress later became a symbol of resistance and sovereignty. Oral traditions suggest it doubled as a military base and a royal lookout due to its strategic position overlooking Lake Limboto.
