Yes, it is Galle Fort. The Galle Fort in the Bay of Galle on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka was built first in 1588 by the Portuguese, then extensively fortified by the Dutch during the 17th century from 1649 onwards. It is a historical, archaeological and architectural heritage monument, which even after more than 423 years maintains a polished appearance, due to extensive reconstruction work done by Archaeological Department of Sri Lanka. The fort has a colorful history, and now it is one of the main tourist’s attractions in Sri Lanka. The Galle Fort, also known as the Dutch Fort or the "Ramparts of Galle. I know it’s boring to read about the history things,
Landmark you must remember.
Before we go to the place, there’s another special landmark you must watch. Let’s go near to that landmark. It is The Galle Clock Tower or Anthonisz Memorial Clock Tower. It is a popular landmark and overlooks the central Moon Bastion, on the site of the former guard room. The Clock Tower was constructed in 1883, paid for through public subscriptions by the people of Galle, in recognition of Dr. P. D. Anthonisz. The clock itself was the sole gift of a grateful patient, Mudaliyar Samson de Abrew Rajapakse. The plate of the clock tower carries the inscription: "This tower erected by public subscription to the perpetual memory of Peter Daniel Anthonisz (born in Galle) in the testimony of his skill and benevolence in relieving human suffering. The tower is roughly four stories high and is situated immediately inside the fort ramparts. You must remember this landmark because it gives you the directions for the wonderful sunset observing spot.
Okay, my friend, as you can see in the photo now we’re looking at the clock tower. Now, please turn to your left side and continue walking. Now you can see the North West Corner Of Galle Dutch Fort. Yes, that edge is the correct spot. ![]()
