The initial fortifications, which were built in the late 16th century, were quite basic. However the fort underwent extensive modifications in the 17th century by the Dutch, making it one of the most important archeological, architectural and historic monuments to illustrate the European influence in South East Asia between the 16th and 19th centuries. According to a statement by UNESCO the site was recognized as a World Heritage Site for its unique exposition of an urban ensemble which illustrates the interaction of European architecture and South Asian traditions from the 16th to the 19th centuries which is the criterion number four for such recognition. Some important monuments are :  1. The Dutch Reformed Church (Groote Kerk) which was built in 1640 with its historic belfry built in 1707. The bell rang every hour in its hayday. There are also other antiques to be seen within the church.  2.

It is now a modernized franchise of Aman Resorts, and called Amangalla.  3. The old Dutch Government House.  4. The Residence of the Commander.  5. The National Maritime Museum which was once the Great Warehouse built in the 17th century by the Dutch to store spices and ship equipment. 6. The Old Dutch Hospital.  7.

Some of the streets still retain the original Colonial Era names such as the Moorish Pedlar Street or ‘Moorse Kramerstraat’, Lighthouse Street or ‘Zeeburgstraat’or ‘Middelpuntstraat’ named after the lighthouse destroyed in 1936, Hospital Street, where the Dutch Hospital, the House of the Surgeon and the Medical Gardens are, Leyn Baan Street or ‘Leyenbahnstraat’, Old Rope-Walk Street where coir rope was created, Parawa Street, Chando Street and Church street.

Awesome experience from beginning to end. Aswar the driver was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable about Galle and Sri Lanka. He is a warm, genuine, and humble guide. We traveled to Galle and saw the old town. Aswar answered all questions and allowed time to explore the beautiful coast. I will definitely use him again on my next visit to Sri Lanka. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

My husband and were in Colombo for a brief stay and were eager to explore the coastal areas down south and our trip to Galle was perfect. Our driver Nandana was extremely welcoming and attentive to all our needs. He made the day for us with his friendliness and flexibility. I would highly recommend this company and ask for Nandana. Thanks so much! We’ll be back for more adventures.
