Teave
Kiired faktid: Fortis asub 46 meetri kõrgune lipuvarras, üks riigi kõrgemaid, mis on valmistatud täielikult tiikpuust, mis pärineb laevadest, millega Briti asunikud saabusid. Forti muuseumis saab näha Robert Clive'i kirjutatud originaalkirju ja suurt kollektsiooni Briti ajastu relvadest ja mundritest, mis hõlmab üle 200 aasta.
Esiletõstmised: Astu fortis asuvasse Püha Maarja kirikusse, vanimasse anglikaani kirikusse Suessist ida pool, kus Robert Clive ja Elizabeth Clive abiellusid 1753. aastal. Kiriku algsed 17. sajandi puidust kirikupingid kannavad endiselt Briti sõdurite nikerdatud initsiaale, kes istusid seal kord lahingukäske ootamas.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- 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.
