Galle Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest remaining fortress in Asia built by European colonists, its walls of black gneiss constructed by the Dutch in the 17th century on Portuguese foundations enclosing a remarkably intact colonial town of Dutch-period merchant houses, churches, mosques, and Buddhist temples that create one of the most extraordinary architectural ensembles in South Asia.
