Galle Fort Clock Tower: A Timeless Tribute to Compassion and Colonial Craftsmanship

#postandearn #wonderful_places #historicallandmarks #srilankatravel Explore the Fort: Start with the Clock Tower and walk all the way to the postcard-perfect Lighthouse. From the fort walls, you can catch the sunset over the Indian Ocean, and the best spot is Triton Bastion. Roam around narrow cobblestone streets inside the fort, spotting Dutch colonial-style buildings, cute two-table cafes, colorful TukTuks, and vintage cars. Watch street musicians and locals playing cricket. There are also several museums, churches (Dutch Reform Church & All Saints Anglican Church), Sudharmalaya Temple - a beautiful white Buddhist temple, and a Meeran Mosque that you can visit. 🛍 Do Some Shopping Galle has lots of charming antique shops, jewelry stores, and designer boutiques selling clothes, jewelry, handmade decor, homeware, spices, and tea. Some of the shops worth checking out are: @spaceylonofficial for Ayurvedic cosmetics @sticknobillsposters for Ceylon retro prints @pr_srilanka concept store with Sri Lankan brands @exoticrootsconceptstore for clothes, jewelry, accessories, home decor, art & natural beauty products 🍽 Have Dinner at one of the cozy restaurants. My favorites are: 39 Bistro & Wine Bar at @thefortprinters More on the fine dining side, beautiful interiors, and great food. Love their Pavlova dessert. Church Street Social at @fortbazaar_teardrophotels Stylish space and great cocktails, food is amazing as well. Aqua Forte @aquaforte.galle & Aqua Pizza @aqua.pizza Cozy Italian restaurant on a quiet street neighboring its sister brand for Neapolitan pizza. Tried the pizza with burrata, and it was amazing. Amangalla @amangalla They have an afternoon tea offer worth visiting for scones and desserts at this luxurious hotel, which was a former home of the Dutch Governor, built in 1684. 🍦Have Gelato @isleofgelato, @ilgelato.lk, or pedlarsinn_gelato – the choice is yours. PRO tip: The fort is open 24/7, and entrance is free. Arrive in the afternoon to beat the heat. #nataliechaban_srilanka
