About
The Sultanate of Singora, established in the early 17th century by the Persian Muslim Dato Mogol, was a significant fortified port city located in present-day southern Thailand. Known for its strategic position and robust trade network, Singora featured formidable defensive structures including city walls, moats, and bastions. The city flourished under Sultan Sulaiman Shah, who declared independence from the Kingdom of Ayutthaya. Despite several attempts by Ayutthaya to reclaim it, Singora remained resilient until its eventual destruction in 1680. Archaeological remains, such as forts, a Dutch cemetery, and the tomb of Sultan Sulaiman Shah, offer insight into its historical and cultural significance. The site exemplifies the rich confluence of regional trade and military architecture during the Early Modern Period.
