Is This Sri Lanka's Most Underrated Historic City? | GALLE FORT

Galle’s old fort walls rise straight from the surf — cannons, cobbles, and centuries-old stone holding back the tide. We walk the full perimeter, climb the ramparts, and trace the line where history meets sea. Inside the walls are narrow alleys, colonial buildings turned cafés, and a lighthouse that still watches the ocean. Outside, the modern rhythm of trains, buses, and cricket pulses through the city. This episode shows you Galle as it really is — fortress and future, side by side. 👥 We’re Scott & Lynn, slow-traveling travel creators.
