The southern coastal town of Galle holds a very special UNESCO World Heritage Site: Galle Fort and Old Town. Built on a promontory by the Dutch four centuries ago, the Fort contains many well-preserved colonial buildings and exudes a profound sense of history. One can walk the high ramparts of Galle Fort and enjoy the promenading locals and long views out to sea, or wander the quaint cobble streets of the Old Town to admire the grand colonial architecture and soak in the atmosphere.
