Galle Sri Lanka

Galle is a major city in Sri Lanka, located on the southwestern tip of the island, about 119 km (74 miles) from Colombo. It is the administrative capital of the Southern Province and the capital of Galle District. Before the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century, Galle was known as Gimhathiththa (the 14th‑century traveler Ibn Battuta referred to it as Qali) and was the island’s main port. Galle reached the height of its development in the 18th century during the Dutch colonial period. Galle is the finest example of a fortified city built by the Portuguese in South and Southeast Asia, illustrating the blend of Portuguese architectural styles with local traditions. The city’s defenses were significantly expanded by the Dutch from 1649 onward. Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest surviving fortress in Asia built by European colonial powers.
