This star-shaped fort was built for the Royal artillery troops and the military - not really for defensive purposes. Now, it's open for public as a tourist spot or venue for weddings and the like. Entrance targetti lighting fee is RM 3.00 (39 pesos) for adults and RM2.00 (26 pesos) for children.

****** 1:18 p.m. - After some quick shopping at the Queensbay mall (nice and pricey shops but luckily they were on sale) I went into an eatery to have some kopi-o or their iced coffee but ended up eating lunch there. I got to taste their version of the Hainanese Chicken rice with veggies and chili salsa on the side plus a free soup for RM 3.50 and kopi-o for RM 1.20 (both for 66 pesos). 
I ended my tour at this point because I needed to go home and pack my things for my 6:00 p.m. flight to Kuala Lumpur then to Manila.  My 2 days were very much well spent on my walking tours. It's quite cheap and it's really fun to do it even when you're alone. I never had any solo trips but this can be a preview of what just  might happen targetti lighting next right? **a special shout out to doc gelo! thanks for all the help on my solo-roaming-around-in-Penang-by-foot trip**
