We went to Galle Fort in the evening. Very quiet. I felt very free with the sea breeze.Many people come with their families to Galle Fort in the evening.I sat on the wall and stared at the sea and went for a walk in the Galle Fort. Very beautiful place and I'm really happy about my country, Sri Lanka.Normally anyone who goes to Galle goes to, Galle Fort. ❤️
As for the Galle Fort,
The Fort in Galle stands overlooking the Harbour/Port in Galle which is situated on the southwestern coast of Sri Lanka was an integral trade route stopover for Chinese Arab and Mediterranean traders and is mentioned in many ancient texts and by famous travellers from times past such as Ibn Battuta.
The first contact with the Portuguese and this port was when the Portuguese expedition led by LourenΓ§o de Almeida in the 1500’s touched down here and developed friendships with king Dharmaparakramabahu. They then began construction of the Fort with earthen fortificationsand it went on to finally have three bastions as well as the Franciscan Chapel built within it in 1541.
