Kuala Kedah FortMore information:
Kuala Kedah Fort, also known as Kota Kuala Kedah or Fort Dinding, is a historical fortress located in Kuala Kedah, Malaysia. The fort was built by Sultan Mudzaffar Shah I of Kedah in the late 17th century to defend the state against potential threats, particularly from the Dutch and the Bugis. While I don't have specific details on the number or types of cannons within the fort, it's typical for forts of that era to have various sizes and types of cannons positioned strategically along the fort walls to defend against naval attacks. These cannons would have ranged from smaller swivel guns to larger artillery pieces capable of firing heavy projectiles over longer distances. If you're looking for detailed information on the cannons of Kuala Kedah Fort, I would recommend consulting historical records, local museums, or historical experts specializing in Malaysian history.
