I am visiting the old Dutch Fort in Jaffna. Are there informational plaques, or do I need to hire a local guide to understand the history?

There are very few informational plaques, and the site is mostly ruins heavily damaged during the civil war. It is highly recommended to hire an English-speaking guide at the entrance, or read up extensively beforehand. Otherwise, it just looks like piles of coral rubble.

Thanks, I will definitely hire someone at the gate. I want to understand the civil war context as well.
