    Galle Fort Ramparts & Tunnels

    GalleSri Lanka1588 / 1649

    Galle Fort is a magnificent coastal bastion fortress built by the Portuguese in 1588 and extensively expanded by the Dutch from 1649 onward. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, its massive coral and granite ramparts overlook the Indian Ocean. Beyond its tourist popularity lies a darker heritage of colonial sieges, naval battles, public executions, and secret underground powder magazine tunnels, giving rise to stories of Dutch soldier specters and disembodied chain rattling.
