Galle Tourism

Galle is a glorious fortress city in Sri Lanka, located at the southwestern part of the country. Pronounced as ‘Gawl’ in English and ‘Gaar-Le’ in Sinhala, it is the fourth largest city in Sri Lanka.

Galle, as of today, has developed to a great extent and stretches itself into the vicinity, but the heart of the town is the Galle Fort with all its old world charm, retaining the atmosphere of times of yore.
