代尔夫特岛 (Neduntheevu)

一个偏远的珊瑚岛和猴面包树岛,以其殖民时代马的后代野马群而闻名。

概述

代尔夫特岛,在泰米尔语中被称为 Neduntheevu,是一座被风吹过的平坦岛屿,岛上有珊瑚石墙、棕榈树和牧场,可从 Kurikadduwan 码头乘坐较长的海军渡轮到达。这里最著名的居民是自由漫游的野马,它们是葡萄牙人和荷兰人带来的马的后代。其他奇观包括一棵巨大的古老猴面包树、一块正在生长的珊瑚“石头”、荷兰时代的遗址、鸽舍和鸽子塔,所有这些都散布在一片美丽的风景中,最好在岛上租一辆嘟嘟车或面包车来探索。

历史

Named Delft by the Dutch after the city in the Netherlands, the island was used during the colonial period to breed and graze horses, whose feral descendants still roam it today. Its coral-block walls, ruined fort and stables date from that era, and the island remains one of the most remote and distinctive corners of Sri Lanka.
