Capital of southern province






Galle is a city on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka. It’s known for Galle Fort, the fortified old city founded by Portuguese colonists in the 16th century. Stone sea walls, expanded by the Dutch, encircle car-free streets with architecture reflecting Portuguese, Dutch and British rule. Notable buildings include the 18th-century Dutch Reformed Church. Galle Lighthouse stands on the fort’s southeast tip. and it is the 9th most populous city in srilanka. Also it is know as the capital of southern province. one side of the district is covered by the sea and it is the main reason why travelers love Galle.

Lets go through some awesome locations in Galle  which I have traveled and photographed.

The Fort is located at the south wes corner of Srilanka and it ii covers 52 hectares. One main reason for the popularity of the fort is its the wonderful sea beach around the fort. And also it is situated walking distance from Galle bus stand and railway station.
