Fort Zeelandia (Paramaribo)

Fort Zeelandia is a fortress in Paramaribo, Surinam that was built by British colonists (originally called Fort Willoughby) in 1651 around a small trading post. It was captured by the Dutch and given its present name in 1667.

During the government of Dési Bouterse in the 1980s, it was the scene of the "December murders" of 1982 and was used to hold and torture political prisoners.
