I was serving in 2003, after retirement, at the Base Hospital Mannar, working for the WHO. Mannar had many interesting things to see. On the road to Pesalai from Mannar, there is an old light house. This was reputed to be from Portuguese times. It is built of stones and mortar and has a narrow winding staircase inside. At the top is a platform where, fire-wood was burnt as a beacon to the ships. You can also see the umbrella trees peculiar to Mannar close to the light-house.
