Fort Belgica (MAHS-IDN-MLK-MLT-BDA-S-001) was built by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) to support its coercive monopoly on the spice trade in this eastern Indonesian archipelago. It is located on Tabaleko Hill, on the site of a small settlement that had earlier served as a stronghold for the people of Banda during the invasion of the Portuguese in the sixteenth century. Several fortifications have stood on the site over the centuries that followed, and the current structure dates to 1621.
