Arad Fort
Situated near the Airport, this Arab-style fortress was built at the end of the 15th century to guard the southern harbour of Muharraq Island.  It was subsequently captured by invading Portuguese and Omani forces who used the fort as a military base.  Arad Fort has recently been fully restored to its original state and stands as a potent symbol of Bahrain's rich historic heritage.
