	Kotte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kotte (meaning 'Fortress') was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Kotte from the 14th to the 16th centuries.
		Kotte was a jala durgha (water fortress), in the shape of a triangle, with the Diyawanna Oya marshes forming two long sides; along the shorter third (land) side a large moat (the 'inner moat') was dug.
		Later the city became the capital of the island, and was renamed Sri Jaya Vardhana Pura Kotte, meaning "the blessed fortress city of growing victory." The Portuguese arrived on the island in 1505 and had control of the city by 1565.
