Where?
Amangalla is located on Sri Lanka’s south coast in the 17th century Dutch fort town of Galle, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Galle is like nothing else in Sri Lanka, a small peninsula surrounded by thick rampart walls, containing neat winding streets lined with gabled Dutch colonial houses and churches. Among them is the whitewashed Grande Dame Amangalla, which was originally built as a private residence by the Dutch East India company way back in 1684.
