South shoreline city of Sri Lanka and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The heart and the center of Galle is the Fort, a magnificent structure built by the Dutch in early 1660’s during their occupation. This walled enclave, surrounded by the ocean in three sides have been a strategic vantage point for any enemy advances.
To sit on the fort wall under the faint light of the lighthouse behind you in the dusk staring into the gloriously colorful sky touching the infinite ocean, is a moment unmatched any. Share a smile with a friendly local and explore the rambling lanes passing Dutch-colonial buildings, ancient churches, grand museums, stylish cafes, impeccably restored hotels and quirky boutiques.
