This has become a top spot for all tourists and locals for sunset. You will be with around 100-200 other tourists but it is a great time to walk around as it is much cooler

We visited Galle on a day trip from Negombo. It's very clean and surprisingly not many people around except many courting couples hidden in the nooks and crannies behind a strategically placed umbrella :) We have a lovely walk around the Clock Tower and enjoyed the views of the ocean, Internation Cricket Ground and activities going on around the fort. A few vendors around the place touting their wares but not pushy. Nice historic fort to visit for a few hours.

One of the oldest buildings in the Galle Fort. It's said to have been built during the Dutch colonial era and still the structure and designs are well preserved even with the recent modifications. This building has been used for various purposes during the past. As of today, it is developed to be a shopping and dining precinct.

This Gate is the last remaining link with the Portuguese builders of the original fort in 1588 and is located on the North wall. The Coats of Arms that are visible date from the Dutch and British colonial eras. Great history and a must see in the fort.
