Sri Lanka|Galle is simply a vacation paradise

Galle's history is also a history of colonization. Galle Fort was first built by the Portuguese in the 16th century. Later, the Dutch occupied Galle and built the city walls. Most of the buildings in Galle Fort today were constructed during the Dutch period. Afterward, the British drove out the Dutch and remained until Sri Lanka gained independence. Today, Galle Fort has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a living ancient city. The place is filled with exotic charm, with the scent of spices and sea breeze in the air. If you visit Sri Lanka, you can skip other cities, but you must, must visit Galle. -
