1. The Galle Fort, or Dutch Fort as it is also known, is a fortification first built by the Portugese on the Southwestern coast of Sri Lanka. The initial fortifications, which were built in the late 16th century, were quite basic. However the fort underwent extensive modifications in the 17th century by the Dutch, making it one of the most important archeological, architectural and historic monuments to illutrate the European influence in South East Asia between the 16th and 19th centuries. According to a statement by UNESCO the site was recognized as a World Heritage Site for its unique exposition of an urban ensemble which illustrates the interaction of European architecture and South Asian traditions from the 16th to the 19th centuries which is the criterion number four for such recognition.

About Colombo

Colombo, plus grande ville du Sri Lanka, réunit monuments coloniaux, temples bouddhistes, marchés animés et promenade en bord de mer.

Galle Face Green, une longue pelouse en bord de mer, se remplit de familles, de joueurs de cerf-volant et d'étals de cuisine de rue quand le soleil se couche sur l'océan Indien. Tout près, le quartier du Fort conserve des bâtiments coloniaux comme l'ancien Hôpital hollandais, restauré en boutiques et restaurants, et la mosquée Jami Ul-Alfar, rayée de rouge et de blanc, s'élève au-dessus des rues marchandes bondées de Pettah.
