Absolutely enamored by the rich history and stunning architecture of Galle Fort in Sri Lanka. The well-preserved colonial buildings and charming cobblestone streets make it a must-see destination for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike. The panoramic views of the Indian Ocean from the ramparts are unparalleled. A truly magical experience!

Galle Castle is one of Sri Lanka's iconic attractions, and there is a very nice town here. There is an iconic clock tower and a lighthouse by the sea. Still pretty good. Overall it is worth it together.

The ancient city of Galle, located on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, covers an area of 360,000 square meters. It is a must-check ancient city in Sri Lanka. Walking on the thick embankment, the slight sea breeze is light... cozy; shuttled in the streets and alleys, the strong style hits the face...comfortable

[View] After the Kandavahari temple full of details, this is also worth punching in the star castle. Some places say that they cannot take pictures. The clocks at the corner of this road are so interesting!

The Utrecht bunker and lighthouse have been built during the Dutch colonial period and have been more than 300 years old. At the same time, it is also a UNESCO heritage list and is a very worthwhile attraction to visit.

[View] This Dondra Head Lighthouse is quite high! It may also be the reason for there is no building nearby. From Koggala Lake along the way, these small street shops can be here in a while, and you need tickets.
