Map
Jaffna is the main city of Sri Lanka's Northern Province and the cultural centre of the island's Tamil population. It lies on a flat, low peninsula, and on a map water surrounds it on almost every side. The Jaffna Lagoon runs along its southern edge, and long causeways cross the shallow water to the islands farther west.
Beside the lagoon is the city's most recognisable feature: a star-shaped fort, first built by the Portuguese and then rebuilt by the Dutch in the seventeenth century. Its angular outline stands out clearly on the map. Inland, the Nallur Kandaswamy temple is the centre of a major annual festival, and the rebuilt Jaffna Public Library is an important symbol for the city.
A Jaffna map poster shows the geometric fort by the lagoon, the dense streets of the town centre, and the roads spreading out across the peninsula. The long straight lines of the causeways extend into open water, giving the composition a strong sense of place.
The star-shaped fortress by the lagoon is one of the most distinctive shapes on any Sri Lankan city map. Its pointed bastions are clearly visible.
The wide, shallow lagoon runs along the southern edge of the city and takes up a large calm area of the poster.
Long, straight causeways cross the shallow water to the islands, drawing thin lines across a large area of blank water.

From wanem Jaffna
For the many Jaffna Tamils living around the world, this map shows home: the fort, the temple streets and the lagoon. It is often chosen as a gift that reconnects a family with where it came from.
You can add a title, a subtitle in your own words, and the coordinates. Choose from five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. The fort's outline looks especially striking in Blueprint.
