Galle was the next location for the Platinum awards initiative
to spread Rugby across the country. The
once devastated city by the Tsunami was very eager and excited to learn the
game of Rugby. Galle boasts of a great and rich history, with so many
historical landmark locations.
The biggest attraction is the Galle fort,
a world heritage site and is the largest remaining fortress in
Asia built by European occupiers. Other prominent landmarks in
Galle include the city's natural harbour, the National
Maritime Museum, St. Mary's Cathedral founded by Jesuit priests,
one of the main Shiva temples
on the island, and Amangalla, the historic luxury hotel.
