We visited Dutch Fort in Galle which is considered the best-preserved sea fort in South Asia. This 90 hectare attraction is a superb blend of architecture, with fortifications that resemble those in the coastal areas of Portugal. Originally established by the Portuguese in the 16th Century, it reached its zenith under Dutch rule in the 18th Century, providing spacious housing, wide roads and all necessary facilities within its walls, including an intricate sewage system that was ahead of its time.
This World Heritage Site was the main port of call for ships sailing between the East and Europe.
We had a nice meal in a restaurant there: rice with 10 types of curry brought in 10 bowls that cost £5 per person including drinks. In the pictures: Dutch Fort and 10 types of curry.
