概述

拜蒂克洛堡是一座小型方形殖民堡垒，有四个角堡垒，两侧由拜蒂克洛泻湖保护，其他两侧由运河保护。这是东海岸保存最完好的荷兰堡垒之一，其厚厚的珊瑚和石头城墙包围着现在由政府办公室使用的古老殖民建筑，从城墙上可以欣赏到泻湖和城市的微风徐徐的景色。这是位于老城区中心的一处轻松而充满气氛的停留。

历史

The Portuguese completed a fort here in 1628, which the Dutch captured in 1638 and largely rebuilt from 1665, adding its fortified bastions. The British took control in 1795. The fort has survived in reasonable condition and today houses several local government departments within its old walls.
