operating as a military base however
guests are allowed to walk through it. The

feature of the fort is the gateway constructed in 1675. Fort Frederick is of
interest because located inside the grounds are many buildings constructed
according to Colonial architecture. Wellesley Lodge sometimes referred to
as Wellington House is the greatest example of the colonial influence. It is
believed that Arthur Wellesley, who proceeded to become the Duke of

existence since 2500 years ago, and was
renovated by the south Indian Chola king
Kulakottan and maintained by other Sinhala
Buddhist kings. In 1622 the Portuguese destroyed
this temple which they referred to as the temple of a thousand columns by
shoving the temple over the edge of the cliff into the deep blue seas below.
The revered Shiva lingam (mark of Shiva) was subsequently rescued by
divers. The Portuguese used the building materials of the temple in the
construction of Fort Fredrick.

inscription with the symbol of king Kulakottan - the dual fish. With a
prophecy stating that after 1500 years Westerners with different eye colours
will rule the country for 500 years. Visitors to the temple could take part in
the evening or morning pooja (prayer service) or obtain a blessing from the
swami (priest) at the kovil. The temple is also worthwhile visiting for its
gorgeous views of the natural harbor as well as the Indian Ocean.
Lovers Leap: This is located on top of Swami Rock, next to
the Koneswaram temple. This vantage point
commemorates the tragic end of a love affair.
This point is situated at an abrupt end of a rocky
cliff that is 350 feet above sea level. The
daughter of an Old Dutch general named
Francina Van Rhede who attempted to commit
6. suicide when her lover abandoned her and sailed back to Europe, is the
legend behind this famous site. However she survived the fall and according
to government archive records she subsequently got married after eight
years. However till to this day there is a shelter and a memorial built to
commemorate Francine Van Rhede. If the conflicted history of this site is not
of interest to visitors, this site should be visited for the magnificent sites it
has to offer

brought to Sri Lanka concealed in the
tresses of princess Hemamala daughter of King Guhaseeva of Kalinga who
was accompanied by her husband prince Dantha whose father was the king
of Udeni, the prince and his party were disguised as Brahmins and
disembarked at the Illangathurai Harbour in the Kottiar pattu of
Trincomalee. It was then known as Lanka Patuna and the oldest temple was
Samudragiri Viharaya the fate of which is worth examining.
Seruwawila: During the reign of Kavantissa (2nd
century B.C.) the Kingdom of Ruhuna was
threatened by invaders. The king had to
evolve a strategy to prevent a disaster. He
was very well aware that there was a
buffer state of Seru on the north eastern
seaboard of Sri Lanka which was ruled by
7. a prince by the name of Siva. The King finally had been able to solve the
problem avoiding military confrontation and as a result he had to build a
Stupa at Seruwila.

abbreviation of the long name of a local
inter-religious mission in the eastern part
of Srilanka. “Ashram for Human Self

director rev. Pon. Anandarajah. The quiet

a typical fisherman’s hut, a unique touch
among all Pasikuda hotels. The 40 rooms
and adjoining public areas are designed
to seamlessly blend with the surrounding environment. Each chalet with its
cadjan roof elegantly highlights the indigenous Sri Lankan culture; the
modern amenities are subtlety introduced, tastefully combining the old with
the new.
Pasikudah:
Passikudah(Pasikuda) on the Eastern coast is a sleepy fishing village 28 kilometres North of
the capital city of the district. The bay of Passikudah is truly scenic and is protected by a reef
that runs across the bay making it one of the safest and calmest stretches of coastline in the
8. east. The reef is home to some lovely coral formations and schools of reef fish can be seen
while snorkelling. The beaches are dotted with palm and palmyrah trees and the sand is soft
and smooth to the touch.
However Passikudah and its environs are gearing up for development and growth as the
Tourist Development Authority has earmarked 156 acres of land for development converting
Passikudah into a Tourist Zone. Part of the land will be developed to provide common
infrastructure while the rest of the 100 acres have been allocated for hotel development
projects. Once completed it is expected that there will be over 900 star class rooms in
Passikudah.
