Meet Channa Daswatte at Hall de Galle for an exceptional morning stroll through 400-year-old Galle Fort. Beginning at the Old Gate – which dates back to 1669 – you’ll ponder Portuguese, Dutch and British influences, as well as changes to the Fort in the more recent years since independence. Channa will invite you along narrow lanes, up onto the ramparts and into heritage residences, sharing little-known stories and pondering the potential for architectural preservation and community growth.
