The Martello fortress, located in the Kelor Island within administration of thousand islands region - Jakarta. It has been built in east area of the archipelago since 17th century by VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie). The Martello fortress was been functioning to support the old battle between Netherlander and Portuguese in Indonesia. It was also functioning as tower guard to secure the entry line to Batavia / Jayakarta (Jakarta Now days) from this gate. This fortress became a silence witness that Indonesia archipelago is an interesting place from many years ago. The Martello ruins now left only for the main tower. The building structure has gone by sea abrasion and other damage. Most of the main building has been drowning to the sea.
The Kelor itself is one of the small island within thousand island area. In this region there are other sister islands such as: Onrust and Cipiir.
