Galle
Galle is the best example of a fortified city built by Europeans in south and southeast Asia, showing the interaction between European architectural styles south Asian traditions. Built by the Dutch beginning in 1663, the 36-hectare Fort occupies most of the promontory that forms the older part of Galle. Described by the notoriously hard-to-please Paul Theroux as being garlanded with red hibiscus and smelling of the palm-scented ocean, the Fort is an amazing collection of structures and culture dating back through the centuries. Just wandering the streets at random yields one architectural surprise after another. And be sure to take in the dramatic views of town and ocean from the encircling walls. Unesco has recognized Fort as a World Heritage Site.
