The largest fort in the country, the Fort Cornwall is named after Charles Cornwallis - the Governor-General of Bengal in the 18th century - and was built to protect the city from pirates. It is fortified by walls that measure up to 10 feet in height and features a number of prison cells, chapels and a harbour light which was used to communicate with incoming ships back in the day. Stores of ammunition and old bronze cannons can also be witnessed inside. Presently the fort is a popular tourist attraction and offers visitors a snack bar, information centre, separate history gallery as well as a number of souvenir boutiques.
