这座殖民时代的堡垒守卫着亭可马里岬角，树木繁茂，野生梅花鹿在树林中漫步，一直通向科内斯瓦拉姆神庙。

概述

弗雷德里克堡位于斯瓦米岩半岛的颈部，其城墙和古老的军事建筑被巨大的树木遮蔽。成群驯服的梅花鹿在城堡内的道路上漫步，堡垒绿树成荫、大气磅礴，通往岬角顶端的科内斯瓦拉姆神庙 (Koneswaram Temple)。未来的惠灵顿公爵曾经下榻的惠灵顿宫就矗立在院内。

历史

The Portuguese first built a fort here in 1624 using stones from the demolished Koneswaram Temple; the Dutch rebuilt it, and the British took it and renamed it Fort Frederick in 1803. It remained an active military site and today is still partly used by the Sri Lankan armed forces.
