Galle Essentials

This collection features the core historical and cultural landmarks of Galle’s UNESCO-listed Old Town. It covers the 17th-century Dutch fortifications, including the iconic 1939 lighthouse and the Flag Rock Bastion. The list highlights significant religious architecture, such as the 1755 Dutch Reformed Church and the Gothic Revival All Saint's Church. Beyond the walls, it includes the local fish market and St. Mary’s Cathedral, alongside repurposed colonial structures like the Dutch Hospital, now a hub for dining and commerce.
