Kayts Island Fort

Kayts, Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka

Kayts Island Fort is a small colonial-era fort on Kayts Island in northern Sri Lanka, near Jaffna. It was built by the Portuguese in 1629 to help protect the Jaffna Peninsula and the nearby harbor routes, and it was later taken over by the Dutch. Today, only ruined remains survive, but the site is still important for showing the island’s maritime history and strategic role in the past.
