Colonialism in Timor-Leste

A colonial-era fort with panoramic views across the border of Timor-Leste, 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 Timor-Leste achieve its independence.

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