5 Steps To Discovering Galle - Must-See Attractions In Southern Sri Lanka
Beyond the fortified walls, dive deeper into the diverse cultural landscape of Galle Fort, by visiting its many historic religious landmarks and museums. Groote Kerk, or the Dutch Reformed Church, reflects the fort's European heritage, with its colonial-era gravestones and simple, neo-gothic architecture. Further down the road, the All Saints' Church sits as an Anglican marvel, showcasing a stunning display of intricate stained-glass windows. Closer to the Fort's walls, the Meeran Jumma Mosque glimmers in an ivory facade, representing the city's Muslim community for 300 years. For history enthusiasts, the Galle National Museum and the Historical Mansion Museum display fascinating artefacts that range from ancient jewellery to colonial relics, housed within historic buildings.
