About This Activity
Immerse the afternoon with rich history, archaeology and architectural heritage of the Galle Fort with a Researcher and Building Archaeologist. The colonists built several western style forts, mostly in and round the coast of the island, with the first being the Portuguese. These forts were captured and expanded by the Dutch, who was in turn captured and occupied by the British. Your walk begins on the Ramparts, starting from the Dutch period, winding is way through ancient quarry’s and old dungeons. You’d also see a working lighthouse and learn about the Fort’s colourful history. The 150 years or rich history is apparent everywhere with streets of colonial villas protected by coral bastions and sounds of breaking waves just beyond.
