What is Galle Fort and why is it significant on Crossroads of Civilization?

Galle Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage site, a 16th-century Portuguese/Dutch colonial fortification on Sri Lanka’s southern coast. Crossroads of Civilization includes guided walks through the fort’s cobblestone streets, colonial buildings, boutique shops, cafes, and rampart views.

It represents Sri Lanka’s colonial history and maritime heritage, contrasting with the ancient Buddhist sites visited earlier.
