Booking available. #ඩෙල්ෆ්ට් #Srilanka #Delft Island has a number of historical sites that reflect its rich and diverse past. Some key historical places to visit are: 1. Delft Fort (Neduntheevu Fort) - Built by the **Portuguese** and later expanded by the **Dutch** in the 17th century, this fort is one of the main historical landmarks on the island. It was used to defend the island and the surrounding area. Although much of the fort is in ruins, it still offers a fascinating glimpse into the colonial era and provides a great viewpoint for the surrounding landscape. 2. Ancient Hindu Temples - There are several ancient temples on the island, such as the **Sri Pathrakali Amman Temple** and **Kudiramalai Temple**, that reflect the island's long-standing Tamil culture and religious heritage. These temples are not only places of worship but also important cultural landmarks. The architecture of these temples can give you insight into the island's history and religious traditions. 3. Old Wells and Ruins - Throughout Delft Island, you can find **ancient wells** that were used for water collection, as well as the remains of old houses and structures. These ruins date back to different periods, including the Dutch and Portuguese eras, and they provide a sense of what life was like centuries ago on the island. 4. Dutch Colonial Ruins - Aside from the fort, there are several other remnants of Dutch colonial architecture, such as old warehouses and administrative buildings that have crumbled over time. Walking around these ruins gives you a deeper understanding of the island’s role in the colonial economy, particularly in terms of trade and defense. 5. Delft’s Lighthouse - The island's lighthouse, though not as old as the fort, is an important part of its history, especially for maritime navigation. It was constructed during the British colonial period to guide ships traveling along the northern coast of Sri Lanka. 6. Portuguese Influence - Although not much remains of Portuguese rule, their influence can still be seen in some of the island’s architecture, particularly in old structures and buildings dating from the early 16th century. The Portuguese were the first to make Delft Island a key strategic location in the region. We arrange the necessary vehicle arrangements for you to visit these places.
