Fort Willem II of Ungaran (known locally as Benteng Ungaran or Benteng Diponegoro) is a late 18th-century fort built by the Dutch in Ungaran, Semarang Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Its main purpose was to control an important trade route between Semarang and Yogyakarta.[1] The fort is the place where Prince Diponegoro was imprisoned while waiting for his judgment in Batavia and further exile to Makassar. The fort is currently used as a dormitory for the families of Indonesian police personnel.
