Things to do in Mannar, Sri Lanka - An imposing Portuguese-Dutch construction, this fortress is situated right by the causeway to the island and is ringed by a moat. It's a bit shambolic, but the walls are atmospheric and contain the roofless remains of a chapel, dungeon and Dutch bell tower. Climb the ramparts for an impressive perspective of the town and the Gulf of Mannar. Don't miss the carved details on the entrance to the central courtyard (where you can park).
Mannar Fort is located on Mannar Island, Sri Lanka. It was built by Portuguese in 1560. The fort fell to the Dutch in 1658, and they rebuilt the fort in 1696. In 1795 the British occupied the fort following the surrender by the Dutch.This is the landmark of Mannar. This has situated near the lagoon just starting the town. Spread over a big area and very old buildings ruined.

Mannar Fort on Mannar Island, Sri Lanka
#sosrilanka #mannarsrilanka #travelsrilanka
Mannar fort is situated on Mannar island in Sri Lanka. It is close to the city and can be easily visited as it is not too far away. I would recommend visiting this place either in the morning or during the evening. Going to see this place during day time can be too harsh due to the hot climate. At evening, you will be more relaxing and definitely enjoy the most of what the fort can offer to you.
According to history, first, it was built by Portuguese in 1560. Then it was captured by Dutch in 1658, which they rebuilt the fort in 1696. Again in 1795, the British occupied the fort following the surrender by the Dutch. Today, it belongs to Sri Lanka Railways.

Mannar island
Mannar Island (Tamil: மன்னார் தீவு; Sinhalese: මන්නාරම් දූපත) formerly called Manar Island, is part of Mannar District, Sri Lanka. It is linked to the main island of Sri Lanka by a causeway. It has an area of about 50 square kilometres, mainly covered with vegetation and sand. Ram setu (Tamil:ஆதம் பாலம்), is a chain of limestone shoals, between Pamban Island, also known as Rameswaram Island, off the southeastern coast of Tamil Nadu, India, and Mannar Island, off the northwestern coast of Sri Lanka. Geological evidence suggests that this bridge is a former land connection between India and Sri Lanka.
Adam's Bridge (Tamil: ātām pālam; Sinhala: adamgay palama), also known as Rama's Bridge or Rama Setu (Tamil: Irāmar pālam, Sanskrit: rāmasetu),[1] is a chain of limestone shoals, between Pamban Island, also known as Rameswaram Island, off the south-eastern coast of Tamil Nadu, India, and Mannar Island, off the north-western coast of Sri Lanka.
