O znamenitosti
Hitre informacije: Trdnjava hrani 46 metrov visok drog za zastavo, enega najvišjih v državi, v celoti izdelanega iz tikovine z ladij, ki so pripeljale britanske naseljence. V muzeju trdnjave si lahko ogledate originalna pisma Roberta Clivea in obsežno zbirko britanskega orožja in uniform, ki zajema več kot 200 let.
Poudarki: Stopite v cerkev sv. Marije znotraj trdnjave, najstarejšo anglikansko cerkev vzhodno od Sueza, kjer sta se leta 1753 poročila Robert Clive in Elizabeth Clive. Originalne lesene klopi iz 17. stoletja še vedno nosijo vrezane začetnice britanskih vojakov, ki so nekoč tam sedeli in čakali na bojna povelja.
Notranji nasveti
- 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.
