A highlight of Jaffna is the Jaffna Fort. It’s very similar to Galle Fort. Both were built by the Portuguese in the 1600s and then later used by the Dutch. The Jaffna Fort was also used by the LTTE during the civil war. Jaffna is experiencing a surge of tourism. Many Sri Lankans have either never been to Jaffna or haven’t been in years because of the war so now they are going in droves.
