This is Sri Lanka’s oldest light station, dating back to 1848, although the original lighthouse was destroyed by fire in 1934. It was rebuilt to its current height of 26 meters. The light station is within the walls of the ancient Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a well-known tourist attraction, making it the country’s most frequently visited lighthouse.

- Maritime Archaeology Museum - The National Maritime Museum of Galle is filled with nautical and marine wonders, excavated from the sea and displayed here.

- Galle International Cricket Stadium - Once a racecourse for betting British colonials, Galle’s cricket ground was established over a century ago.

There is a fantastic view of the ground from the Sun Bastion to the south.
- Galle Fort Clock Tower - The Galle Clock Tower is a four-story stone monument from the late 19th century. It was constructed within the ramparts of the Galle Fort on the site of the former guardroom, overlooking one of the three bastions of the fort. While the historic clock tower is a wonderful monument to photograph, it requires some skillful maneuvering due to the steep angle nearby. Therefore, it might be better to photograph it from the Moon Bastion, which the tower faces. (Combines with Galle Fort)
