Galle Fort, in the Bay of Galle on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, was built first in 1588 by the Portuguese, then extensively fortified by the Dutch during the 17th century from 1649 onwards. It is a historical, archaeological and architectural heritage monument, which even after more than 423 years maintains a polished appearance, due to extensive reconstruction work done by Archaeological Department of Sri Lanka.[1]
The fort has a colourful history, and today has a multi-ethnic and multi-religious population.[2][3][4] The Sri Lankan government and many Dutch people who still own some of the properties inside the fort are looking at making this one of the modern wonders of the world.[4][5]
Just quick bit of history on the Fort I visited in Saturday. Really enjoyed my time there..
Only got my buttons pushed twice when a man had a snake for photos and would play his flute and it would rise up high..
And a man had a young monkey tied to a piece of rope for photos.
No photos for me of that. Only words to them this is very bad. Leave them in forest.
