Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • Kottiyar (Sinhalese: කොඩ්ඩියාර් බලකොටුව Tamil: கொட்டியாரக் கோட்டை) és un fort que va donar nom a la badia on està situat; fou el primer fort que va ser construït pels holandesos a Ceilan. El fort va ser construït el 1622 i és localitzat en el costat del sud de la badia avui esmentada com Koddiyar Bay (Koddiyar significa 'fort pel riu'). El rei Senarat de Kandy va concedir permís per construir un fort on avui hi ha la població de Muttur en un tractat entre el rei i els holandesos. El tractat va tenir el propòsit d'aconseguir lliurar el país del domini portuguès. No obstant els portuguesos van destruir el fort que permetia controlar Trincomalee, situada a la part nord de la badia. Més tard els holandesos van derrotar els portuguesos i el fort de Kottiyar va ser reconstruït i enfortit el 1658. (ca)

It was constructed in 1622 and is located on the southern side of Koddiyar Bay (Koddiyar means 'fort by the river'). Kandyan king Senarat granted permission to build a fort in Koddiyar (now known as Muttur) due a treaty between the king and the Dutch. The treaty had a purpose of get rid of the Portuguese from the country. However, Portuguese destroyed the partly built fort since they had control in Trincomalee area including Koddiyar. Later, the Dutch defeated the Portuguese in the island, and Koddiyar fort was rebuilt and strengthened in 1658. (en)
