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.
It is assumed that the oldest settlement was built in 2800 BCE, but remains of this settlement, which was small, have not survived the second city that superseded it. This was a far more serious city, surrounded by a defensive wall. It is estimated that this city survived for around five hundred years and was built directly after the first city was destroyed in around 2300BCE. It was succeeded by several more cities, all built one on top of the other, effectively creating a so-called tell: a mound composed of layers of successive settlements one on top of the other. Together with the fort constructed by the Portuguese, this is what is now collectively referred to as Bahrain Fort.
