Close to modern Manama, you can find the remains of Bahrain Fort. More than just a fort, this is a collection of ancient settlements, one on top of the other.
Its location on the coast made it interesting enough for the Portuguese to establish a fort here in the 16th century, and this is the most prominent structure right now. Certainly interesting, it is the combination of this fort and the ancient settlements that make Bahrain Fort an interesting place to wander around. Some of the old buildings are still visible, notably one that lies just outside the main entrance, and another, newer settlement inside the defensive walls. Here, houses can be recognized, as well as a beautifully intact arch attributed to the Assyrians. Looking back gives you a view of the modern, shiny skyline of Manama. The contrast with ancient Bahrain Fort could not be bigger.
