Matara, Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka

Matara Fort is a colonial-era fort in Matara, on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, first built by the Portuguese and later rebuilt by the Dutch in the mid-17th century. It played an important defensive role and was part of the wider Dutch system of protecting trade routes and the town’s strategic harbor area. The fort was later used under British rule, and today it remains a historic landmark that reflects the layered Portuguese, Dutch, and British history of Matara.
