Benteng Pendem II

Benteng Pendem II is one of many tourism destinations in Cilacap. Benteng means fortress and Pendem means buried
It is located in the center of Nusakambangan Island. Although it’s not as famous as Benteng Pendem I located in the near of the Teluk Penyu Beach but It has its own appeal which can make everyone visits there feel enthusiastic.
To reach Benteng Pendem II firstly we can use the vessel from Teluk Penyu Beach crossing the sea about 15 minutes. After arriving at the bank of the Nusakambangan Island we have to walk about 15 minutes to arrive at the fortress gate. After that we can walk around while enjoying the stories of it.
We won’t feel bored and tired there because there are so many rooms we can visit like “Ruang Intai”, “Ruang Interogasi”, Ruang Pembantaian”, ”Penjara Pria dan Wanita”, etc. We also still can see the real cannon that is used as the main weapon in the colonial era.
Many advantages we can take by visiting it because we not only get recreation but also we get education especially history when we finish our trip there.
