Galle is a city on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka. It's known for Galle Fort, the fortified old city founded by Portuguese colonists.

Galle Fort is a living time capsule, blending European architectural styles and South Asian traditions. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, the fort's car-free streets are lined with boutique shops, art galleries, and historic churches. Beyond the fort, the surrounding coastline offers golden beaches like Unawatuna and pristine snorkeling spots.
