List of Attractions in Trincomalee

Trincomalee, ancient Gokanna, town and port, Sri Lanka, on the island’s northeastern coast. It is situated on a peninsula in Trincomalee Bay, formerly called Koddiyar (meaning “Fort by the River”) Bay—one of the world’s finest natural harbours. Trincomalee was in early times a major settlement of Indo-Aryan immigrants. The Temple of a Thousand Columns (also called Koneswaram Temple), located at the extremity of the peninsula, came into use as a Hindu temple sometime in the 7th century or earlier.
