Very nice and genuinely good people. I got two gorgeous rings that I was given a very good deal on. Nothing bad to say, if you want local gems or jewelry from you trip to Galle I highly recommend
A fortress made by the Dutch people. This place is heaven. You can travel here for days. The sunset and sunrise over the horizon is a breathtaking view. This place covers an area of 130 acres and very old. A great place to walk, hangout, swim on the beach, eat, shopping and every thing
First really souvenir shop in Galle. where was pleasure spend rupees! Craft, small art stuff,nice bric-a-brac and don forget buy Srilankam traditional balsam with herbs and cinnamon oil
Nice and calm place in historical Galle fortress. This and three story building but you can visit only 2 floors. You can find anything from here. We visited this shop several times anf bought some clothes. There is a wide range of costumes jewellery, clothes, ornaments ... Etc. Also staff is good. They are nit allowed photography in the premises.
People who are interested in Marine should get the experience of this place. Needs to get the entrance ticket and prior approval for photography is must. An amount will be charged in order to get the photos within the premises and the pass will be provided. Every item in the exhibition has the explanation in detail.
Sweet little Café at the end of the inside of the store. Very good Vietnamese ice coffee and delicious coconut/datrel cake. Normal prices. With a very friendly service. Good stop for a short relax.
This bastion has been named after the hometown of Commander Wilhelm Jacobs Coster who led the Dutch conquest of Galle Fort. This is located next to the old Dutch hospital building. It is said that it was once used during the Dutch period for postmortem examinations. It has a inscription “Akersloot 1759” although infact it was erected earlier.
It is an excellent vantage point for the observation of the Galle harbor and bay. From the British period onwards, it has been used as the official residence of the Harbour Master. It is believed that there were 7 canons installed here to protect the bay from invading vessels.
Another interesting feature of this bastion is the old breadfruit (Artucarpus incisisus) tree found here which is believed to the first bread fruit tree planted by the Dutch on the island of Sri Lanka.
A good place to visit in Galle Fort. It has a good collection of items used in Sri Lanka specially in colonial time. If you are a Sri Lankan I recommend to go with kids so they can learn so much of things, specially cultural related items and if you are an outsider, you can still get a bunch of history related knowledge and see many unique items there.
I do my best to keep this list very up to date. It was last edited in November 2024. If you know of a street art that should be on the list, let me know. Click here to contact me. Thanks!
