Description: The Square Tower building located at the Kuching waterfront. It was built in 1879, the same year as Fort Margherita was built. Orginially it was used as a prison but it was later turned into a fortress and later a dance hall. Today, the Square Tower is used as a multimedia information centre with a theatre for video presentations for the tourists.
