The Galle Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and arguably the city’s most popular tourist attraction. The Portuguese built the fort in 1588, before being fortified by the Dutch in the 17th century. The fort has retained its structure and charm for more than 400 years and has been hailed as one of the best places to visit in Sri Lanka. Inside, you’ll find attractions such as the Galle Lighthouse, two national museums, a shopping precinct contained within the Old Galle Dutch Hospital, and the Groote Kerk, one of the oldest Protestant churches in Sri Lanka.

There are also activities that you can participate in within the fort, such as crafting traditional Sri Lankan masks with local experts or heading to one of the many bastions that border the fort to catch the stunning sunset over the horizon. Walking through the Galle Fort is like walking through a slice of history – an experience you won’t want to miss.
