Singapore

Singapore has served as a major trading port in Southeast Asia since the 19th century. Founded as a British trading post in 1819, the city-state developed around the Singapore River and the busy Singapore Strait, one of the world’s principal shipping routes. In the Central Region, colonial-era civic buildings stand close to the financial district and Marina Bay’s contemporary skyline. The nearby National Gallery Singapore occupies the former City Hall and Supreme Court, while the Merlion at Marina Bay has become a widely recognised national symbol.
