Southern Province Essentials

Sri Lanka's Southern Province features the 16th-century Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site built by the Portuguese and extensively fortified by the Dutch. The region contains Yala National Park, known for its high density of leopards, and the coastal towns of Hikkaduwa, Unawatuna, and Mirissa, which are hubs for surfing and whale watching. Cultural landmarks include the Mulkirigala Rock Monastery and the traditional practice of stilt fishing along the shoreline, while architectural highlights include Lunuganga, the country estate of renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa.
