Galle
Galle Fort was built by the Portuguese and was later extensively fortified by the Dutch and the British. To this day, the city’s architecture resembles a mix of European and South-East Asian architectural styles. While this city rests with the sea beneath it, the unique culture of this area complements the lifestyle in Galle which you will love. As you walk through the streets of Galle with the wind howling and the waves crashing the Galle Fort, you will feel as if you are travelling back to the 17th century.
