My favorite place in Sri Lanka

 Galle Fort

Galle fort is one of my favorite place in Sri Lanka. 


Galle Fort is the most beautiful coastal town in Sri Lanka. Its history makes it a melting pot of culture, with a unique fusion of European and Asian influences, as seen in the whitewashed Dutch style buildings that line the cobbled streets. Head to the most southwestern corner of the country and enjoy all the beautiful things to do in Galle Fort, Sri Lanka.


In the 18th century, the Dutch built their headquarters, Galle Fort, on the Sri Lankan coast, taking over from the Portuguese rule since the 16th century. They fortified Galle, leaving behind beautiful European style buildings still there today. Later, the British took over the town until Sri Lanka became an independent nation once again. 

Because of its extraordinary history, the fort has enormous cultural and architectural value. As such, it’s recognized as a UNESCO heritage site to preserve the area’s beauty.  It was also an important trading port for hundreds of years.


Galle Fort’s wall is where locals and tourists come together and enjoy the beautiful view of the city and the sea. Best of all, you can walk along the perimeter of the fort, gaining various perspectives of the UNESCO heritage site and the town.

Start at Galle Fort Lighthouse on the southeastern part of the fort. As you walk towards the northwest side of the Fort, you’ll see the Clock Tower which is the connection between Galle City and Galle Fort. The walk around the fort is around a 2km walk with beautiful views over the ocean along the way.
