Description:
The gardens are actually cemeteries of the officers those landed and settled in Gujarat on their business ventures. There are English, Dutch, and Armenian cemeteries around the Kataragama Gate. There is a massive mausoleum of Baron Adrian Van Reede, who died here in 1691. The ancient original port from where the ships sailed to other parts of the world is another main attraction near the Dutch gardens. The old English factory and the Anglican Church are other interesting sites worth a visit.
