Galle

1 of 5

Galle is a city famous for its fort and lighthouse. The walls of the port city, which are on the UNESCO World Heritage List, were built by Europeans. There you will find the atmosphere of "little Europe" and of course branded stores in the city!

The fort from the 17th century is the key attraction. Behind the fortress walls there stand residential areas with temples, administrative buildings, a prison, and a lighthouse.

Flag Rock, on the fort's southern edge, is one of the most popular places to watch the sunrise.
