The fortress at Kalutara [Philip Baldaeus] ~ ca 1660
"The fortress at Kalutara was first constructed by the Portuguese in 1622 and was surrendered to the Dutch in 1655."
"This fort was later enlarged by the conquering Dutch with the addition two bastions. Very little of it remains and today the famous Kalutara Temple lies on this ground.
