Located opposite the Galle Bus Station, it is the main passage into Galle Old Town. It is a very simple city gate. There is nothing special. If you enjoy Galle Old Town, you should go to the old city gate not far away. The old gates of the castle of Galle still have sculptures of different periods, with English wedges on the outside and VOC letters representing the Dutch East India Company on the inside. A city gate witnessed the history of two imperialist colonial rule, and the tall and stout eucalyptus trees outside the city walls were silent, leaving only tourists to taste slowly after watching. Out of the old gate, you see the bay shore with many boats towing ashore, and there is a small fish market nearby.

    The entrance and exit of Galle Castle are all from the New City Gate. The bus can't drive in, stop and walk in, it is the scenic spot. No tickets are charged here. The New City Gate, also known as the Main Gate, is located in the north of Galle Old City. It is very magnificent and separates the New City from the Old City. In 1873, the English opened the gates here to control traffic in and out of the old city, so the main gates are the latest part of the wall.

    Originally there was no such gate, this city gate was completely, and then opened, now after opening this gate, you can open to traffic, you can drive in, it is really convenient. But the old city gate is better, think about the old city gate is really a fortress city gate, want to attack, it is not easy, keep that one only door can be.

    The beautiful Indian Ocean, which separates the new gates of Galle and the old town. Galle always gives me a sense of history, whether it is the vicissitudes of the gate or the sea wall built by the coral reef. Very strong sense of history

    The new city is located in the castle of Galle and is a must-see attraction for tourists after visiting Galle, with the logo of the Dutch East India Company with the words VOC and two lions.
