Today, there are two statues commemorating Sir Stamford Raffles in the Historic District that tourists flock to for photographs. The first statue (the original one from 1887) now stands in front of the Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, along Empress Place. The second statue stands guard nearby at Boat Quay on the Singapore River to mark Raffles’ first landing site on January 29, 1819. |
