They constructed a second, taller wall inside of it. The central bastion of the Fort was joined to the two sea-facing half bastions by a covered passageway that ran between the two walls. A sophisticated drainage system was also put in place by the Dutch, replete with underground sewers lined with brick that were cleansed twice daily by the high and low tides.
