romantic place
When visiting Galle Fort, be sure to visit the lighthouse. At the top let the lighthouse attendants for 100-300 rupees (+ - as agreed). The lighthouse is active. Soldiers sit at their workplaces. A romantic place, stunning views open in the area, you can take a lot of cool photos. Want to see? Travel agency "Hot Line", www. hot. com. ua +38(044)227-46-09, +38(050)419-2938, +38(067)502-0559→

Fort Galle Lighthouse. World Heritage List
One of the most interesting sights of Sri Lanka. The fort is deservedly on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It was built back in 1663 by the Dutch and did it so well that in 2004 it saved the inhabitants of the city from the tsunami. If not for the fort, the consequences would have been even more tragic. It is very interesting to climb the lighthouse itself - the panorama is simply mesmerizing. Issue price $ 10-20 for 2. We bargained for $5. The beautiful white building in the lighthouse photo is a 1684 hotel.→
