Galle Castle was built in Portugal in the 16th century. Before the British invasion in the eighteenth century AD, Galle Castle was once brilliant and developed into its peak period. It is a typical representative of European architectural defense fortresses in South and Southeast Asia, successfully integrating European architectural art with South Asian cultural traditions. In the 18th century, the Old City of Galle enjoyed a period of peace and quiet without any external infringement. The British, French, Danish and Spanish empire have long been coveted by this Dutch barrier on the edge of the Indian Ocean. In 1796, under the British rule, the original administrative status of the Old Town of Galle remained unchanged, and was subsequently devastated by the city of Amiens in France in 1802. The peninsula fell into a British colony and continued until 1948. Today's old castle has become a popular tourist attraction. There are many shops in the old castle, full of hotels, inns, restaurants, hotels and handicraft shops. Of course, even if the history of the castle is still strong, it is not covered by a strong commercial atmosphere.
