The Galle Maritime Museum is a fascinating stop for anyone interested in Sri Lanka’s seafaring history. Housed in a colonial-era building inside Galle Fort, the museum showcases maritime artifacts, ship models, and exhibits on the island’s rich naval heritage. It’s a great spot to explore the history of trade, exploration, and naval warfare that shaped Galle’s importance as a port city.
