O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Tvrđava sadrži 46 metara visok Flag Staff, jedan od najviših u zemlji, napravljen u potpunosti od tekovog drveta s brodova koji su doveli britanske doseljenike. Unutar Muzeja tvrđave možete vidjeti originalna pisma Roberta Clivea i ogromnu kolekciju britanskog oružja i uniformi koja obuhvata preko 200 godina.
Istaknuto: Uđite u crkvu svete Marije unutar tvrđave, najstariju anglikansku crkvu istočno od Sueskog kanala, gdje su se Robert Clive i Elizabeth Clive vjenčali 1753. godine. Originalne drvene klupe iz 17. stoljeća i dalje nose urezane inicijale britanskih vojnika koji su nekada sjedili čekajući borbena naređenja.
Insajderski savjeti
- Skip the museum's guided tour and explore at your own pace to linger over the Clive letters and original British-era paintings.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes as the grounds are expansive and you will cover a lot of paved and grassy area.
- The Flag Staff area offers the best photo opportunity with the fort's whitewashed walls contrasting against the blue sky.
- Visit on a weekday to avoid school groups that crowd the museum halls between 11 AM and 1 PM.
