Ayubowan! (May you live long)
Over the centuries, the sea brought the world to these very shores. As the waves crashed against the rocky coast, the inhabitants witnessed foreign cultures melding with local traditions, forging a thriving harmony that transformed an ancient trading post into the bustling coastal city they are proud to call home: Galle.
The world's influences have shaped the very fabric of Galle. From the iconic Dutch fortress in the heart of the city to the traditional fishing villages at its fringe, these cross-cultural charms have extended into the nature of its legendary hospitality. This spirit has been brought to life in an architectural masterpiece designed by Geoffrey Bawa, which always remains open for the visitor to come and discover the heritage of tropical luxury on the southern coastline of Sri Lanka.
