Area
The 300 year old Dutch Fort is located approx. 117kms from Colombo. Enter through the 'old' Dutch gate or the 'new' English one and be prepared for yet another experience on this paradise island. Like nowhere else in Sri Lanka, the Fort enjoys an even more relaxed pace. True to its reputation as the place where in Biblical times King Soloman obatined gems Galle is the home of gemstones and jewellery design in Sri Lanka. The abundance of jewellery shops in and around the Fort provide a shoppers paradise. Galle is also, and to some more, famous for its international cricket pitch. Watch a game from the top of the 300 year old Fort ramparts and enjoy the better views of a test match than at any other test ground in the world. A short journey by three wheeler takes you to beautiful beaches, one of which is Unawatuna - 'one of the most beautiful in the world' however the Fort has its own that are perfect for morning dips whilst sunbathing is not appropriate. The Fort contains Muslim, Buddhist, and Christian places of worship all in harmony. A number of restaurants exist and more are being planned.
