Description: View of the Old Portuguese Fort or Qal'at al-Bahrain in c.1870, location of the ancient capital of the Dilmun civilization. The fortified structure along the horizon is at the top of a tel. In the middle-ground, immediately in front of the fort, a large number reed or palm frond structures as well as several crumbling stone-built structures can be seen. Figures and animals are visible amongst the structures. A stony plain makes up the foreground where some figures are blurred. Along the upper walls of the structure along the horizon to the left a number of figures stand.
