Galle Lighthouse is a picturesque landmark that has been guiding ships since the 19th century. Standing tall at about 26 meters, this whitewashed tower offers stunning views of the Indian Ocean and the surrounding area. Originally built by the Dutch in 1848, it was later rebuilt by the British in 1939 after some wear and tear. The lighthouse is not just a functional structure; it's also a popular spot for tourists who love snapping photos against its striking backdrop.
