Exploring Galle Fort is like stepping into a living museum, where cobbled streets echo with centuries of history. Built by the Portuguese, fortified by the Dutch, and polished by time, its ramparts overlook the Indian Ocean’s endless blue. Wander past colonial mansions, quirky cafes, art galleries, and hidden courtyards wrapped in bougainvillea. The salty breeze carries tales of sailors, traders, and explorers. Locals chat under verandas while kids play cricket near the lighthouse. At sunset, the fort glows gold, inviting reflection and wonder. Every turn reveals a story, every doorway a secret. Galle Fort isn’t just seen-it’s felt, savored, and remembered.
