Colonialism in East Timor

A colonial-era fort with panoramic views across the East Timor-West Timor border, now home to a hotel.

The remains of a former colonial fort on a stretch of beach that is occasionally visited by crocodiles.

These underground shelters dug by the Japanese during World War II later helped East Timor achieve its independence.

A surprisingly large and sturdy ruin on the outskirts of a remote village.
