Galle Heritage & Cycling Day Tour

The Galle Dutch Fort happens to be one of the treasured historical monuments of Sri Lanka located on the southern coast of the country. The fort was constructed by the Portuguese in the course of their reign in Sri Lanka and was later renovated by the Dutch. The fort is one of the most important UNESCO world heritage sites out of many in Sri Lanka. This is because of its wonderful illustration of European Architecture and South Asian Traditions of the 16th and 19th century.
