Vattakotai Fort

                    The splendid Vattakotai Fort is spread over an area of 3.5acres and is one of the fascinating places to visit in Kanyakumari. The fort which was built in the 18th century by the Travancore Dynasty, under the supervision of King Marthanda Verma, overlooks the might Bay of Bengal and gives a spectacular view of the sea. It was the last fort built by this dynasty after defeating Captain Eustachius De Lannoy’s army in the Battle of Colachel. This fort is now protected and maintained by the Archeological Department of India.
