RE: Amazing architectural features of the fort built by the Portuguese during the colonial period to ward off enemy attacks.

Hi @madushanka , the Galle fort is impressive and they have it in excellent condition. Unesco has declared it a cultural heritage site, how nice! ... I understand about the big rocks and that is why it is such a resistant construction. Imagine the men of that time lifting those huge stones to make those high walls. The truth had to be a titanic work.

Sort:  

In those days, as there was no use of machinery, our history books have shown pictures that make it possible to imagine that all such huge blocks of stone were lifted up by slave soldiers. Indeed, Galle Fort is an incredible and amazing construction.
