Galle is a small town on the southern tip of Sri Lanka. It is also a bustling town with historic buildings such as the Galle fort. Galle Fort is a Unesco World Heritage Sight and built in the 17th century by the Portuguese and then later taken over by the Dutch it is a massive, hulking fortress of epic proportion given the time in which it was built. The fortress is so strong that when the 2004 tsunami struck, it emerged relatively unscathed.
