Galle

description
Galle is a historic city located in the southwestern coast of Sri Lanka. It is known for its well-preserved colonial-era buildings, charming narrow streets, and picturesque fort. The fort was built by the Portuguese in the 16th century and later expanded by the Dutch, who controlled the city in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Today, Galle is a popular tourist destination with many boutique hotels, cafes, and shops located within the fort walls. Visitors can explore the fort, stroll through the streets, and enjoy views of the ocean. The city is also a hub for many nearby beaches and attractions, such as the Unawatuna beach and the Yatagala Raja Maha Viharaya temple. Additionally, Galle hosts a number of cultural events and festivals throughout the year, including the Galle Literary Festival and the Galle Music Festival.
