2 unusual facts about Vattakottai Fort


Eustachius De Lannoy

Vattakottai Fort (or Circular fort) is a seaside fort, very close to Kanyakumari, the southern tip of Peninsular India.

Many other forts like the Vattakottai Fort facing the sea near Kanyakumari, the Savakkotta, and the Marunnu Kotta or Ammunition fort, both being hill-forts near Padmanabhapuram, were built under de Lannoy’s supervision.
