Buildings in Singapore emerge and vanish in the blink of an eye, but these 76 buildings have been earmarked for the highest level of protection, due to their historical, cultural and architectural value.

Singapore may be a young nation with limited land, but as we embrace the future, we also must not forget our past.

Join me as we uncover this treasure chest of fascinating stories at Civic District, right in the heart of downtown Singapore.
