Answers
Explanation:
The Bahrain Fort, also known as Qal’at al Bahrain, is an ancient tell and a former Portuguese military fortification in Manama, Bahrain.
Answer:
The Bahrain Fort is of great historical significance due to its use as the capital of the Dilmun civilization, a Portuguese garrison, a trading port, a residential building, and a religious center. It is built out of a 12-meter-high (40 feet) artificial mound, formed by human settlers from 2300 B.C. to the 1700s, and was later rebuilt using a Greco-Roman style. This square-shaped structure comprises high-quality stones, towers at the four corners (two of which form the main entrance), weapons, artifacts, holes in strategic locations used for shooting arrows, red tiles dating back to Hellenistic period, coins and a trench.
