This private tour we take you to a leisure stroll in the best preserved colonial fort in South Asia; relive a 500 year old history, be captivated by the glorious past!This magnificent piece of architecture, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Enter the fort through the main entrance which bears the carved logo of the British monarch on the outer wall and the VOC symbol of the Dutch East India Company in the inner wall. Observe the magnificent building with its old stone walls, the ramparts, Dutch colonial villas, the clock tower, the Old Dutch Hospital, Dutch period houses, the beautiful Dutch Reformed Church and the old Bread fruit tree, thought to be the oldest bread fruit tree in the country.
The fascination about the Country Side is that it is a living historical site and not just another well preserved piece of architecture. Walk around the old town and the ramparts; visit the Maritime Museum, Buddhist Temple, Antique shops and the many hotels and restaurants around.
