In this immersive walking tour, you’ll explore the iconic Galle Fort alongside Chandralal, a long-time resident and storyteller featured in Lonely Planet magazine. The Galle Fort is a living monument to Sri Lanka’s colonial past. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it is probably one of the best examples of a fortified city built by Europeans in this part of the world.
Chandralal will share tales that span from the adventures of the legendary traveller Ibn Battuta to the arrival of various colonial powers, adding unique insights drawn from his own experiences. As you wander through the fort, you’ll encounter landmarks like the Dutch Reformed Church, the historic Dutch library, the Portuguese Black Fort, the clock tower, the mosque, Queen’s House, the Saint burial site, and more.
