Sitawaka fort (Sinhala: සීතාවක බලකොටුව, romanized: Sitawaka Balakotuwa; Tamil: சீதவாக்கைக் கோட்டை, romanized: Cītavākkaik Kōṭṭai), was built by the Sitawaka kingdom in Avissawella, Sri Lanka.[1] It was adjoined with the palace of king Rajasinha I. The fort had been mounted with cannon on the river bank.[2]
