Properties for Sale in Galle

Considered as the cultural capital of the south, the great city of Galle has many splendours to offer to the outside world. The list may be long, but among the impressive collection of properties for sale in Galle that includes the residential houses for sale in Galle, the most important may be the world-famous Galle Fort. Constructed in 1588 by the Portuguese, this fortress was transformed into a full-fledged architectural masterpiece when it was taken over by the Dutch in 1640. According to historic accounts, a Dutch general named Wilhelm Jacobsz Coster who arrived in 12 battleships with 2000 men, masterminded the takeover of this fort. It was captured after a four-day siege. However, what the Dutch constructed afterwards was at such an exquisite level, even the UNESCO decided to declare it as a World Heritage Site back in the '80s.
