The ancient city of Galle | The ancient world heritage of the Indian Ocean beaches Sri Lanka's world heritage is numerous, the charming and exotic city of Galle on the southwest coast is one of the typical representatives, but also the European colonists The largest existing fortress built in Asia. The rocky peninsula on the Indian Ocean coast is a natural harbour. In the 16th century, the Portuguese came here and built the Galle Fortress as a defensive fortress, which was later occupied by the Dutch army and further made it even stronger. The fortress was later colonized by the British. The majestic wreckage is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the vicissitudes of the war dissipate in the wind. You and I are a tiny point in history. The is now a maritime museum, with dilapidated iron wall lamps, detailed city gate relief patterns, and solid circular-top wooden windows, all of which are characteristic of Dutch architecture. The old city is not big, leisurely and lazy to walk around, Galle Library, Anglican Church, Dutch Church, Court, Galle National Museum, Mira Mosque, Ude Le Bronze, lighthouses, etc., in different styles and colors, blending European architectural art with South Asian cultural traditions, strolling through, such as the old European city. Holland Hospital is one of the oldest buildings in Galle Fort. It has a 17th-century Dutch colonial style and is now the largest double store in Galle, with restaurants and handicraft shops. Gallery, spice shop, etc. I am relying on the Indian Ocean, listening to the sound of the waves in the coffee shop to the sea, very comfortable and comfortable.
