Soon understanding its strategic importance, the Portuguese built the first Fort here. However, it was the Dutch who took over the Fort in the 17th century and transformed it into the impressive fortification that still stands today. After the Dutch were expelled, the British took over the fort and used it as a strategic fortification and marine trading post. The legacy of these eras lives on in the impressive fortifications, cobbled streets and unique architectural tapestry.
