Situated on a rocky peninsula more than a north-south extension of the Indian Ocean, about 100 kilometres south of Colombo, the south-west Sri Lankan island is a natural port. The Portuguese settled on the island in 1505. They created a trading station in Galle in 1507 and built Saints. More than 100 years after the Cruise fort, the Dutch created the basic layout of the city. The houses in the quiet streets of Galle have neat stone walls. The elegant gates have a strong Dutch flavor. Since the 18th century, Galle has become a strong stronghold. The 14 fort suspension bridges protect the city. Other military-style buildings at the end of the fortress - the mansion, the gunpowder warehouse - stand within three miles of the paddock and near the port. Commercial and warehousing buildings can also be found. British, French, Danish and Spaniards have coveted the Dutch fortress in the Indian Ocean since 1796. The British colony remained in Galle until 1948, when the visit to Galle coincided with the success of Brexit and the hope of peace - always overshadowing Galle.

    Absolutely enamored by the rich history and stunning architecture of Galle Fort in Sri Lanka. The well-preserved colonial buildings and charming cobblestone streets make it a must-see destination for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike. The panoramic views of the Indian Ocean from the ramparts are unparalleled. A truly magical experience!

    The ancient city of Galle is worth punching in. Stay for three days, visit the ancient city, watch fishing boats return on the beach, especially the small streets, drink coffee, buy hand letters, take photos, and linger. Chatting with locals is also a great pleasure.

    The 360,000 square meter ancient city of Galle lies on the rocky peninsula of Sri Lanka's southwest coast protruding into the Indian Ocean. Founded in 1859 during the Portuguese colonial period, and then expanded by the Dutch and British colonial period, it has been named a world cultural heritage site with its three beautiful scenery facing the sea and more than 160 years of human history. Under the scorching sun, with a gentle sea breeze, walking through the arcing coast of the ancient city, the square walls and gridded streets, the beautiful natural scenery and the beautiful humanistic landscape are intersecting, and the European architectural style is perfectly integrated with the traditional culture of South Asia. Busy citizens and cheerful tourists have fun... It's nice to be lazy.
