Galle Fort built first by the Portuguese, then modified by the Dutch is the largest intact Dutch fort in Asia. It was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1988. Located facing the Indian Ocean in the town of Galle, on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, Galle Fort is one of the best preserved examples of 17th century colonial fortifications in the world.
The fort has a colourful history, and today has a multi-ethnic and multi-religious population.
