Fort Inong Balee (Indonesian: Benteng Inong Balee) is located on a small hill along Krueng Raya Bay overlooking the Indian Ocean. The fort is built in 1599 by Keumalahayati, an Aceh female Admiral, to accommodate the Inong Balee army. Besides fortification, Fort Inong Balee also served as accommodation for women whose husband were killed in battle, as well as a military training facility were Keumalahayati trained the woman soldiers of Aceh Kingdom, and a military logistic center. With its strategic hill location-approximately 100 meters above sea level - the fort had an unhindered view of all ships coming into the port of Aceh Kingdom. The Inong Balee army could therefore easily attack Portuguese and Dutch warships.
