The
Qal'at al-Bahrain also known as
the Bahrain Fort or Fort of Bahrain and previously as the Portugal Fort is an archaeological
site located in Bahrain, on the Arabian Peninsula. Archaeological excavations
carried out since 1954 have unearthed antiquities from an artificial mound of 12 m
height containing seven stratified layers, created by various occupants from
2300 BC up to the 18th century, including Kassites, Portuguese and Persians. It
was once the capital of the Dilmun civilization and was inscribed as a UNESCO World
Heritage Site. Source
