Batticaloa Gate

Sri Lanka

Batticaloa Gate is a monument, which was used as a port to connect Puliyanthivu (island) with the mainland of Batticaloa, Sri Lanka. The place is believed as the landing site of Rev. William Ault, who was the first Methodist missionary to Batticaloa, in 1814. His statue is located close to Batticaloa Gate. Batticaloa Gate and its surrounding area are under renovation as part of Batticaloa development project.
