4. Galle Dutch Fort - After learning about the sheer determination of the people through the art displayed at the Tsunami Photo Museum, let us now head down to the Galle Dutch Fort. With a tumultuous history dating back to several centuries, the city’s strategic location made it a hub for trade by sea and subsequently a landing point for the island’s colonial rulers. A fort was built to ensure protection and preservation of the city the Portuguese in early 16th Century and then extensively fortified by the Dutch during the 17th century. Originally the fort was an earthen structure with palisades, a rampart and three bastions and a moat surrounding it. Under the control of the Dutch, they built impregnable fortifications with coral and granite stones and the Fort resembled a small laid out walled town with a rectangular grid pattern of streets full of low houses with gables and verandas.

5. climbed down toward the true destination of your day trip — Jungle Beach. Not another person in sight, just twin stretches of deserted sand trapped between the ocean and Rumassala Rock. Having just experienced the soul-crushing lameness of Unawatuna, this beach was exactly what we needed. Peace, solitude and gorgeous nature.

About Colombo

Colombo, la più grande città dello Sri Lanka e capitale commerciale, riunisce edifici coloniali, templi buddhisti, mercati animati e lungomare.

Galle Face Green, un lungo prato sul mare, si riempie di famiglie, aquilonisti e bancarelle di cibo di strada quando il sole tramonta sull'Oceano Indiano. Nelle vicinanze, il distretto del Forte conserva edifici coloniali come il Vecchio Ospedale Olandese, restaurato come negozi e ristoranti, e la moschea Jami Ul-Alfar a strisce rosse e bianche si innalza sulle affollate vie del mercato di Pettah.
