Old Town of Galle അതിന്റെ Fortifications Founded in the 16th century by the Portuguese, Galle reached the height of its development in the 18th century, before the arrival of the British. It is the best example of a ഉറപ്പുള്ള city built by Europeans in South and South-East Asia, showing the interaction between യൂറോപ്യൻ architectural styles and South Asian traditions.എങ്കിലും Galle as a city is the ninth largest in Sri Lanka (with a population of 100,000), almost all of these people live outside the ഉറപ്പുള്ള walls of the Old Town.The St. Mary ' s Cathedral, founded by Jesuit priests, the Dutch Reformed Church, the മീര പള്ളി, പഴയ ഡച്ച് ആശുപത്രി കെട്ടിടം (ഇപ്പോൾ തിരിഞ്ഞു കടകളിൽ), St. Aloysius College Building, കോടതി കെട്ടിടം, വിളക്കുമാടം, and the Walls of the Fort are just a few of the most interesting കെട്ടിടങ്ങൾ. The square in front of the Court Building has two old Banyan trees with crack കടപുഴകി like I ' ve never seen before and then there are a myriad of narrow streets.
