The Willem I Ambarara Fortress was constructed with the application of complex architectural designs and considerations of geographical location, intending to maximize the utilization of surrounding defense strengths. The method employed was qualitative descriptive analysis with geographic analysis, encompassing literature review, exploration of secondary data, and direct observations at the Willem I Fortress. The research findings indicate that the Willem I Fortress possesses a complex and layered defense strategy, leveraging natural topography and strategic positioning to establish formidable defenses. This defense strategy creates a fortress that is challenging for enemies to breach, with comprehensive facilities to support troop life and operations.
