Galle Dutch Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Sri Lanka’s best-preserved colonial landmarks. Originally built by the Portuguese in the 16th century and later fortified by the Dutch, this coastal citadel is rich in history and charm. Its cobbled streets are lined with colonial-era buildings, museums, churches, boutiques, and charming cafés. The fort’s lighthouse and sea-facing ramparts offer panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. As you walk along its walls, you’ll feel the blend of European architecture and Sri Lankan culture. Galle Fort is not just a historical monument, but a living, breathing part of local life.
