A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1988. The huge, stone Ramparts separate the fortified, colonial town from the busy, modern town of Galle. Surrounded by coral and its own tiny private beaches, the Fort provides its many visitors with a couple of happy days of wandering and discovery and some of the world's best hotels, spas and food. A perfect place to rest, rejuvenate and relax.

The Fort has some of the finest and most intact colonial architecture in South and South East Asia. Buildings range from C16th Portuguese ( very rare) to C17th, C18th Dutch and some C19 British properties.
