 3 beautiful places in Galle Fort

                 

Galle Fort is a beautiful place. This Galle Fort wall is a special place among local and foreign tourists. The places I mention are a great help in increasing the tourist attraction here. The first one

Clock tower

                       This has become a symbol of Galle. This clock tower is also known as the tallest clock tower on the island. Built in 1883 by John Henry Landes, an engineer, in memory of Dr. Peter Daniel Antonis, the first Sri Lankan to receive an F. R. C. P. medical degree from the University of London. It is about 25 meters high.

The lighthouse

                          This is the first lighthouse built in Sri Lanka. Before this lighthouse, there was another lighthouse. It was on the Flag Rock Palace. After it was completely destroyed by fire in 1936, the new lighthouse was completed in 1939 in white. This lighthouse is still living today. This is currently administered by the Ports Authority of Sri Lanka.

Old Dutch Hospital

                          Built on Galle Fort Hospital Street, this beautiful building is now used for tourist shops. The building was used as a hospital by the Dutch in the past. Therefore, the street where this building is located was named Hospital Avenue. Britain also used it as a hospital and later converted this building into the Government Agent's Office and later into an administrative building in the 1920s. The building was later used for various purposes. It was later renovated and, as it is seen today, appointed and used for tourist shops.
