Victory: Excuse me, but do you need some explanations on this historical building. I has just graduated from secondary school. I'm here to explain historical buildings for tourists to practise my oral English in return. Could anybody correct my sentence for me? Many thanks in advance.

Victory: Okay! This was built by Portuguese conquerors 500 years ago. Originally, it was a fortress with 4 gates, but it was demolished by the British in 1806. Only one gate is left. What we can see now is only its brick wall, which still stands strong.
Actually, 'ANNO 1670' is Latin, not Dutch or Portuguese. Thank you for your mention. I found some of the date from my source of information is wrong too, after checking. You seem to know a lot about the fortress.
