Galle Fort
Ramparts, rain trees and four centuries of trade.
The feeling
Walk the sea wall at dusk with half the town, past Dutch gables turned into bookshops and cafés. Galle Fort still works for a living — a fishing town wrapped in coral-stone walls, not a museum behind glass.
Ramparts, rain trees and four centuries of trade.
