The Beauty Of The Galle Tourist Area
A foreigner feeds the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) on the beach in Galle, Sri Lanka, on November 11, 2023. Galle is a city on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka. It's known for Galle Fort, the fortified old city founded by Portuguese colonists in the 16th century. Stone sea walls, expanded by the Dutch, encircle car-free streets with architecture reflecting Portuguese, Dutch, and British rule. Notable buildings include the 18th-century Dutch Reformed Church. Galle Lighthouse stands on the fort's southeast tip. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
