Description :

Get an adventurous experience as you travel by boat to a river island, proceed to witness the master craftsman chisel away pieces of wood to bring out masks, arrive at Ambalangoda after visiting the majestic Galle Fort.

 

An important piece of history from the period of Dutch rule, Galle Fort is one of the best-preserved examples of 17th-century coastal fortifications in the world.


Although it is credited as a Dutch construction, it was actually the Portuguese who started the work but were usurped by the Dutch, who continued with the foundation they had inherited. It is now the largest fort built by this empire in Asia.

Situated in the town of Galle, the fort overlooks the Indian Ocean and played an important role at the time of its construction. A visit to the fort is an exciting glimpse into the past and gives an idea of what life would have been like at the time.

 

It might be expected that this magnificent site be in tatters, but in actuality, it has been well maintained by the people who reside there. Despite its age, the fort even today looks extremely new and maintains a polished look.


The fort of Galle is actually more of a small city constructed within a wall. Various structures are located inside, many of which are houses but there are also attractions of interest. Cultural Museum is located here which houses various artifacts that showcase the culture of the Southern Province.

 

Also located here is the National Maritime Museum of Galle offers visitors a diverse array of flora and fauna related exhibits as well as various models of whales, fish and other marine life.

Visitors will need approximately one hour to indulge in a very basic exploration of the inside of the Fort while more time can most certainly be spent doing a detailed walk-through. The best time to stroll in to the fort is during the evening as the sun is no longer overhead which provides the most pleasant experience.


This historic area provides a rich part of history and a beautiful landscape that helps gain an insight in to the life of people during the time of the Dutch in Sri Lanka. When in the island, visitors should most not pass up the chance to visit this monument.


If the thirst for adventure persists visit a precious stone mine and a Turtle Hatchery it is a great experience to see a baby turtle hatched in front of your eyes.
