El 1626, sota la supervisió del governador portuguès, Constantino de Sá de Noronha, el fort fou reforçat en una construcció rectangular coneguda com a Forte Santa Fe o Cidadela (Ciutadella) de Forte Cruz, que va tenir quatre baluards un en cada cantonada, anomenats Saõ Iago, Saõ Boa Ventura, Saõ Jorge i Saõ Pedro. El fort no va ser una estructura important i el seu estat com a fortalesa és qüestionable donat que consistia principalment de muralles de terra. Tanmateix va jugar una funció important estratègica contra el regne de Kandy, com el principal punt de les forces portugueses en la seva lluita contra el Regne de Kandy. Queda constància que aproximadament 400 soldats portuguesos estaven de guarnició a l'àrea. En els anys 1630 el fort va caure a mans de les forces de Kandy, com a resultat de la rebel·lió en marxa contra la invasió portuguesa del regne de Kandy. Els portuguesos tanmateix el van capturar. Després de la derrota dels portuguesos el 1658, l'àrea fou re-ocupada per les forces del Regne de Kandy. El fort de Menikkadawara va perdre la seva funció estratègica, una vegada que els holandesos es van assegurar el control de Ceilan. Avui les úniques restes del fort que són visibles són restes de les muralles, les quals són cobertes amb herba i males herbes. L'altra única indicació del antic fort és un signe aixecat en el lloc pel Departament d'Arqueologia. (ca)
- Menikkadawara Fort (Sinhala: මැනික්කඩවර බලකොටුව Mænikkadawara Balakotuwa;Tamil: மெனிக்கடவரைக் கோட்டை, romanized: Meṉikkaṭavaraik Kōṭṭai), was a small fort located at Menikkadawara, Kegalle. The Portuguese called the place, Manicravaré or Manicavarê. In January 1599 the Portuguese erected a tranqueira (a wooden stockade) on the site. In 1603 the Portuguese were forced to withdraw from the area by the Kandyan forces. In 1626, under the supervision of the Portuguese Governor, Constantino de Sá de Noronha, the fort was upgraded and strengthened, the rectangular fortification was known as the Forte Santa Fe or the Cidadela (Citadel) of Forte Cruz, it had four bastions on each corner, named Saõ Iago, Saõ Boa Ventura, Saõ Jorge and Saõ Pedro. The fort was not a major structure, and its status as a fort was questionable since it was mainly earth ramparts. It, however, played a strategically-important role against the Kandyan kingdom, as the main marshalling point for Portuguese forces in their ongoing fight against the Kingdom of Kandy. It was recorded that approximately 400 Portuguese soldiers were garrisoned in the area. In the 1630s the fort fell to Kandyan forces, as the result of ongoining rebellion against the Portuguese invasion of the Kingdom of Kandy. The Portuguese however re-captured it. Following the defeat of the Portuguese in 1658, the area was re-occupied by the forces of the Kingdom of Kandy. The Menikkadawara fort lost its strategic role, once the Dutch secured control of Ceylon. Today, the only remains of the fort that are visible are the earthen ramparts, which are overgrown with grass and weeds. (en)
