Negombo Dutch Fort
The Negombo Dutch Fort is a historic colonial remnant originally built by the Portuguese and later captured and fortified by the Dutch in 1672. Though much of the original pentagonal star fort was dismantled by the British to build a prison (which still stands today), the impressive main gateway, the clock tower, and sections of the eastern ramparts remain accessible to visitors.
