Summary

[edit]
Description On a happier note, this building puts up a beacon of light: this is a lighthouse, within the walls of Galle Fort. Galle, Sri Lanka, June 2011. We did not go right up to it, but I gather from other records that this is the country's oldest light house, dating back from 1848. The fact that it survived the 2004 tsunami speaks volumes for the quality of construction in those days.
