Abstract

Toboali Fort is one of the important historical relics in South Bangka that is closely related to the power of the Palembang Darussalam Sultanate. The existence of this fort not only reflects the regional defense system, but also represents the social, political, and cultural values of Islam that developed in the archipelago. This study aims to analyze the historical background of the construction of Toboali Fort and identify the Islamic architectural values reflected in the form, structure, layout, and function of the building. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical methods. Data was obtained through direct observation at the research site, in-depth interviews with community leaders, cultural figures, and local history observers,as well as a literature study of relevant scientific journals and historical sources. The results of the study show that Toboali Fort was built as part of the defense and control strategy of the Palembang Darussalam Sultanate in South Bangka, which had a strategic position in trade and maritime routes. From an Islamic architectural perspective, values such as simplicity, order, functional balance, public welfare, and social orientation are more prominent than visual religious symbols. Thus, Toboali Fortress can be understood as a form of contextual Islamic architecture in the archipelago, where Islamic values are internalized in the function and layout of the building. This study is expected to contribute to strengthening thestudy of local Islamic history
