An Enchanting Visit to the Batticaloa Fort

Initially constructed in 1628, the Batticaloa Fort was used at first as a settlement by the Portuguese, before later being taken over by the Dutch in 1638. Constructed out of stone, the fort featured a moat, while also bordering the lagoon. In the 18th century the fort fell into British hands and today visitors who visit the site with its ancient design and buildings can get an idea of the past glory of this historical site.
