Mannar Dutch Fort
Mannar, Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka
Mannar Dutch Fort is a historic coastal fort on Mannar Island in northern Sri Lanka, originally built by the Portuguese in 1560 and later taken over and rebuilt by the Dutch. It was then occupied by the British in 1795, and today it remains an important colonial-era landmark with square walls, four bastions, and archaeological significance. Set near the bridge linking Mannar Island to the mainland, the fort reflects the island’s strategic role in trade and maritime defense. Visitors come for its history, surviving ruins, and sea views, which make it one of Mannar’s most notable heritage sites.
