Fort Kuta Lubuk is located on Lamreh beach, Aceh Besar, Aceh, located on the edge of the Strait of Malacca at the northern end of Sumatera Island, built during the Sultanate of Aceh in the 17th century. Around the Straits of Malacca and the Indian Ocean is a strategic location for trade shipping. Muslim traders have visited the northern coast of Aceh from Arabia, the Middle East, Indian, Chinese, and European traders. Apart from being a stopover and port, it is also a place for the growth of Islamic kingdoms such as Lamuri and Aceh. Fort Kuta Lubuk is a cultural heritage with European characteristics, traces of competition in the world of trading shipping around the Malacca Strait.
