Batticaloa fort
About Batticaloa fort
The Batticaloa fort is the littlest Dutch fortification. Blended with old history of the Ruhuna kingdom and the historical backdrop of the Portuguese, Dutch and British, this stronghold has stood the trial of time. The magnificence of Batticaloa and its renowned tidal ponds can be seen from this post. The post lies on one of the numerous islets off Batticaloa in Sri Lanka. It was initially worked by the Portuguese in 1628.
The Dutch armada arrived in Batticaloa to visit the then ruler of Kandy to win his help. This infuriated the Portuguese who fabricated this fortress for security against the Dutch. Be that as it may, it was caught by the Dutch when the King of Kandy requested their assistance to drive the Portuguese out of Sri Lanka. It was in the long run assumed control by the British. The fortification is a stone structure of four bastions, incompletely circumscribed by the tidal pond and shielded by the ocean from two sides with a canal.
The attacks of war and disregard have not incurred significant damage on the stronghold and it is still especially in great condition. One of the vital realities about the Batticaloa fortress is that it has essential religious hugeness from the old world. The Buddhist stupa and chatra going back to the main century BC from the Ruhuna Kingdom of King Kavantissa is arranged inside the post. Out of the considerable number of strongholds based on this island, the Batticaloa post is known to be a standout amongst the most beautiful.
