This is a lighthouse pole built near the beach in the ancient Galle fort located in the main city of Galle. This was built in 1848, and this was destroyed by fire in 1934. The lighthouse was also added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 1988. If you are interested to spend a couple of hours in a charms and quiet environment with your relatives and friends it's an ideal location in Galle. It's a really good location and it's an attractive lighthouse from all kinds of tourists, maintained well.

The Lighthouse in Galle, Fort Sri Lanka, tells a fascinating story from the colonial era. It was built by the Dutch in the 18th century and has stood against numerous storms and natural disasters over the centuries. The majestic lighthouse once served as an important navigational aid for ships navigating the dangerous waters off Galle. The surrounding fortress is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and reflects the mix of different cultural influences: Portuguese, Dutch and British have left their mark here.

Clean and good maintained location near Galle Fort. Beautiful sea view. Better to visit early in the morning or evening time. Worth a look while exploring Galle fort and while you're exploring, make sure to head to the South West corner of the fortifications to look at the clock tower too. The light station is within the walls of the ancient Galle Fort, a UNESCO world heritage site and well known tourist attraction. The lighthouse is strategically located at the southern end of the promontory, built approximately 6 metres (20 ft) above the road level on the ramparts, at what is known as the Point Utrecht Bastion, giving it full view of any ships entering Galle Harbour.

Nice place

A beautiful and a peaceful place. Where you can visit at any time. The walking path starts from here and ends with the galle fort where the clock tower is situated at. The distance from light house to clock tower is at least 1-2 kilometers.

You can come reach the lighthouse by walking around the fort area or you also come across the street. It's in working condition. From the Rumassala you can see this Light house.

I recently visited Galle Fort, and it was an incredible experience! The rich history, well-preserved architecture, and charming atmosphere make it a must-visit destination. Walking along the ramparts offers stunning views of the ocean, and the narrow streets within the fort are filled with quaint shops and cafes. The blend of Dutch and Portuguese influences is evident throughout. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the museums and learning about the fascinating history of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a delightful stroll, Galle Fort won't disappoint. Highly recommended!

This place beautiful 👍👍👍

The Galle Lighthouse in Sri Lanka stands as a beacon of history and charm. This iconic landmark, perched on the rocky coastline, offers a stunning view of the Indian Ocean and the historic Galle Fort. The lighthouse itself is a magnificent structure, showcasing architectural beauty and serving as a testament to the city's maritime heritage. Whether you're visiting for the panoramic views, to capture memorable photographs, or to soak up the enchanting atmosphere, the Galle Lighthouse is a must-see attraction that encapsulates the allure of Galle.

The Galle Lighthouse (also known as Pointe de Galle Light) is an onshore Lighthouse in Galle, Sri Lanka and is operated and maintained by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority. This is Sri Lanka's oldest light station. The first lighthouse at Galle was built by the British in 1848. It was a 24.4-metre-high (80 ft) iron lighthouse, constructed from cast-iron plates, imported from England, designed by British architect Alexander Gordon and erected by Messrs. Robinson, Engineers of Pimlico. The lighthouse, painted white, was located on the southwest bastion, Utrtecht Bastion, of Galle fort on the western side of Galle Harbor. It had a fixed point light with prolate reflectors, which was visible for 19 kilometres (12 mi). In July 1936 it was destroyed by fire. The current 26.5-metre-high (87 ft) concrete lighthouse was erected about 100 metres (330 ft) from the original site in 1939. The original light was furnished with a glass prism lens floating in a bath of mercury (to reduce friction) and was powered by a weight driven machine. The light station is within the walls of the ancient Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and well known tourist attraction. The lighthouse is strategically located at the southern end of the promontory, built approximately 6 metres (20 ft) above the road level on the ramparts, at what is known as the Point Utrecht Bastion, giving it full view of any ships entering Galle Harbour.

Beautiful view by the sea. We found a lot of coral fossils on the beach. Definitely spare a bit of time to also walk around the streets nearby to get a feel of the history of this place, and click fantastic photos.

A must-see in Galle but I was a bit underwhelmed. Thought it would be bigger & in better condition. That said if you’re already walking around the Fort, it is quite easy to get to. There’s a small stretch of beach below the lighthouse which you can access through stone staircase. No fee to enter the Fort & the beach.

Nice place to visit with anyone, family or friends. It looks more beautiful at night.

This place is definitely a must visit in Sri Lanka. It's more or less a long walk so early morning or after 4 is the best times to visit. Recently it's under renovation so some places are off limits. It is full of history and they have a museum for the information. Has loads of nice restaurants for dine in. The only downside is how dirty the place is with ice cream wrappers and plastic bottles everywhere.

Absolutely serene. The place was crowded with visitors. Even the weather wasn't a hindrance at all. The sea view, old structure, and monuments as well as clean roads, it was a combination of all of it together. Never seen before experience for sure. We met an aged Indian couple, which was a cute experience too.

The Galle Fort Lighthouse is a historic gem nestled within the Galle Fort in Sri Lanka. As part of the UNESCO Heritage Site, it stands as a well-known tourist attraction. Visitors can wander through the fort's old narrow streets, explore historic buildings and savor scenic views around the lighthouse. The lighthouse itself is not only functional but also serves as a picturesque and beautiful photo spot. If you're in Galle, it's a nice place for a short visit, offering a glimpse into the rich history of the area and providing a serene setting for some delightful photographs.

Beautiful and historical land mark in Galle fort. This light house is still in operation. There is a small musium. Can be accessed by Rampart street. This place is more important to learn about history of Galle Dutch fort. This adds mode elegant view to Galle city.

A beautiful & historical landmark - the lighthouse tower stands tall surrounded by coconut trees and the sea water by its side. Especially beautiful during sunrise & sunset with softer rays of the sun enhancing its beauty. Morning hours are definitely better as one gets to experience it without the noon or evening crowds. Must visit attraction in Galle.

Amazing 🤩

Perhaps the most photogenic place in Galle. Combination of a lighthouse, fortifications and Indian Ocean is amazing.

The Galle Lighthouse otherwise called Point de Galle Light) is an inland Lighthouse in Galle, Sri Lanka and is worked and kept up with by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority. This is Sri Lanka's most seasoned light station. Philippus Baldaeus, a Dutch priest who served nearby in the last part of the 1650s, itemized his perceptions of Galle Harbor, in his work, Description of the East India, Malabar and Coromandel Coasts, expressing that there was an iron gun set on the defenses and a lamp to direct the mariners on top of the 28 feet above ocean level stone which stuck out into the ocean. The main beacon at Galle was worked by the British in 1848. It was a 24.4-meter-high (80 ft) iron beacon, built from cast-iron plates, imported from England, planned by British planner Alexander Gordon and raised by Messrs. Robinson, Engineers of Pimlico. The beacon, painted white, was situated on the southwest stronghold, Utrtecht Bastion, of Galle fortress on the western side of Galle Harbor. It had a proper point light with prolate reflectors, which was apparent for 19 kilometers (12 mi). In July 1936 it was annihilated by fire.

Good place for take photographs. Situated in galle port ❤️.

Must visit if in this area. Nice place to have a stroll. Have something to drink or to eat. It's a typical tourist area shopping, but great for a walk. We encountered one or two hustlers but they are not aggressive. Simple No thank you and they leave you alone.

Beautiful, Serene, Picturesque, Nice, Awesome, Splendid these words are not sufficient to describe Galle Lighthouse. Built at Galle beach by the Dutch who first colonized Srilanka and refurbished by the British in 1938, today this is a major Landmark in entire Srilanka. The beach and fort adjoining the Lighthouse will definitely remind you of few scenes from famous Hollywood movie series Pirates of Caribbean. Beach at Lighthouse base is clean and different - I strongly suggest that you get into the beach and soak yourself up.

Beautiful lighthouse and very nice beach nearby ❤️

A historic and a beautiful place in Sri Lanka.

The lighthouse is beautiful and it actually still works! Go for a swim in the sea right in front of it. It's so refreshing after a full day of sightseeing.

Adding beauty to Galle fort This is one of the landmarks in Galle fort It’s nicer if you go in the evening once the sun is set The whole fort is a Beauty of Dutch history A must see in Galle

Jetwing Lighthouse-Galle. Such a beautiful place with beach view and Bawa’s architectural marvels. Must visit place in SL paradise. Food, stay, environment, service all are perfect. 5/5

One of the gretest light house in Sri Lanka. It was a nice place to visit to say you've been there. The view is spectacular also. Breathtaking view of the Indian Ocean. This is a must place visit in Galle. The light station is within the walls of the ancient Galle Fort, a UNESCO world heritage site and well known tourist attraction. You can find Variety of Indian and Chinese restaurents around this are. We went there on our way to Colombo from our Unawatuna Trip. Please LIKE the review if you found it helpful 👍

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place. A magical sight. You can walk for hours here. A great view of the ocean, the old Fort and the Buddhist temple on the opposite shore. A typically touristic place. If you are lucky, you can take a photo without the crowds of tourists in the background. 😉 (Original) Przepiękne miejsce. Magiczny widok. Można tutaj godzinami spacerować. Super widok na ocean, na stary Fort oraz na położoną na przeciwległym brzegu świątynię buddyjską. Miejsce typowo turystyczne. Przy odrobinie szczęścia uda się zrobić zdjęcie bez tłumów turystów w tle. 😉

During our Trip to Sri Lanka , we visited this most beautiful Light House and the amazing fact is that it is in the same compound of Galle Fort . So during your Trip to Sri Lanka don’t miss this beautiful Light House visit.

Beautiful old light house with beautiful ocean walk around. Down is the beach, but you will need to have coral shoes. From another side of the light house is the view point from where you have a great view to the lighthouse.

The light house and the Dutch fort area is overall a great way to spend an evening or an afternoon. We went twice during our trip - in the afternoon it was scorching but there are plenty of ice cream shops to cool you down in town

The area around the lighthouse is very unique and different from the typical Srilankan style. You can really feel the European influence here in the architecture of the buildings and in the way the neighborhood is designed, and this mix of different cultures makes this place a little gem. The only flaw is that the beach under the lighthouse is very dirty, with trash all across it. I saw crabs climbing plastic bottles and birds picking up pieces of garbage.

The Galle fort lighthouse is a beautiful and historic landmark that offers stunning views of the city and the surrounding ocean. It's a great place to take photos and learn about the history of Galle. The climb to the top of the lighthouse is a bit challenging, but it's definitely worth it for the views. There's also a small museum at the base of the lighthouse that's worth checking out. I highly recommend visiting the Galle fort lighthouse if you're in the area. It's a great way to spend an afternoon and learn about the history of this beautiful city.

Beautiful view. Sunset view is amazing…it’s surrounded by Dutch colony. Lot of beautiful cafés and restaurants nearby.

Sri Lanka’s oldest light station

This is our second visit to the lighthouse in Galle Fort. We were here in 2018. It is well worth a visit. We walked around the Fort before visiting the lighthouse. There are lots of tuk-tuk drivers offering a guided tour, but we preferred to walk. There were lots of people as it was a poya day.

Walking around the Galle fort at night was an amazing experience. There was a different vibe. The food stalls, street lights and all.

It was nice to walk along the ramparts in Galle. Lots of history there. The breeze off the Indian Ocean was great.

Beautiful location in the fort. Great view of the beach. There is a lot of street shopping and street food available. It is quite busy. Good place for tourist to visit. Parking is available, there is also street parking available. You can get an amazing view of the sunset from the lighthouse.

Nice place and good for photographers 😍

Galle Fort or the Dutch Fort is a Portuguese fortress which was built in 1588 at the bay of Galle on the southwestern coast of Sri Lanka. This fortress is completed with 14 bastions which is still the best-preserved and best example for the fortified city in Asia built by Europeans by showing the mix of European architectural styles and South Asian traditions. UNESCO declared Galle Dutch Fort as a World Heritage in 1988 under the name of Old Town of Galle and its Fortifications. It covers an area of 52 hectares inside the walls. A lighthouse installed on the Utrecht bastion, and a tower erected for the jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1883. A Protestant church also built in Baroque Style in 1775. The most prominent buildings in the fort complex were the Commandant’s residence, the arsenal and the gun house.

Wonderful place to visit

Beautiful place

nice and cozy place.

Surrounded by beautiful palm trees and a postcard-perfect location. What is that one thing I can do in Galle if I got less time? The answer is Visit Galle Fort- Lighthouse. This beautiful white lighthouse dates back to 1848 and has a rich history which you can read about if interested. It stands on the walls of the ancient Galle Fort, guiding the safe passage of ships into Galle Harbor. This is where you will get your perfect Sri Lanka photo. The beach surrounding this light house is pretty decent, has a lot of rocks inside the waster so one must be careful. You will also find some good local vendors around selling beautiful handicrafts at great prices. We could not go up the light house or see it form the inside, however, it's outside beauty will satisfy the tourist inside you. Tip: Walk by the complete perimeter of the fort for a perfect angle to your pictures when approaching the lighthouse.

Nice place with lot of history.

The safest place to bathe around Galle. It has a beautiful beach. The waves are not rough.

Galle Lighthouse is a lighthouse situated onshore in Galle and maintained by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority. The lighthouse is also known as Point de Galle Light.

Its exact location is about 6 meters above the road level on the ramparts, at a place known as the Point Utrecht Bastion. This location gives a full view of all ships entering the Galle Harbor.

Lovely place

This is the historical landmark in Galle, since the colonial era of Portuguese and Dutch in 16th century and 18th century respectively. There is a nearby beach front to enjoy the sea breeze and sea view. Visit during morning or evening is a better choice to avoid the scorching sun in the afternoon. There are some trees where visitor can stay under shades in the afternoon. A nice place for a short visit.

Fremdenführer etwas aufdringlich. Ich habe es auf eigene Faust besichtigt und war wirklich super

Also renowned as Pointe de Galle Light, Galle Lighthouse is a prominent tourist attraction of Galle. Situated on the shores of Galle, the lighthouse makes a postcard-perfect scenario against the emerald waves hitting the fine beige sands of Galle. Also, it is situated inside the architectural marvel of the city, Galle Fort, which defines its scenic beauty further. Taking shape in the year 1939, this lighthouse has been constructed as a replacement for the pre-existing lighthouse which was destroyed by fire in the year 1934. It is an automated lighthouse that is still in use as well as it serves a perfect tourist spot for the foreigners and locals alike. With a height of 26.5 meters, the lighthouse is 2 meters taller than the former lighthouse. People come here to witness the classic beauty of the lighthouse and laze around the nearby beaches. Also, visitors love to engage in various water sports like swimming, scuba diving, surfing and many more offered at the nearby beaches. Must try the authentic Sri Lankan cuisines which are being sold by the local restaurants and food corners which you could pair with a refreshing king coconut drink. Along with the lighthouse, one can also enjoy the Galle Fort, Dutch Reformed Church, Galle Dutch Fort and Galle Fort Clock Tower in the same premises itself. All these factors make this place a not-to-miss while visiting the Sri Lankan city of Galle.

Galle Fort is such an amazing place. We went there from Hikkaduwa by TukTuk and spent a great afternoon and enjoyed the sunset from Galle Fort. There was a nice Masjid near the Galle Fort Lighthouse where I performed the Maghrib prayer. I wish I could stay at the hotel there at night but since my hotel was pre-booked, I had to return to Hikkaduwa at night.

One of the main attractions in the fort. A trip to Galle will not be complete if you don't get to see the lighthouse. You cannot go in to the tower and can take photographs in an around. There is a little platform beside the tower to which you can gain access to take a photo. Special permission is required to climb up

One of the best places in Sri Lanka, mix of history, arquitecture, colors and a mystic vibe! The perfect spot for Photos 😉

Great place to spend time in the evening. It’s a bit too hot at the day time. The beach nearby is great to play around as there are rocks that break off strong tides. There’s a lot of corals in the beach too which have come with the waves.

A nice view point and a landmark in the fort, marking the south eastern corner of the Fort. The lighthouse itself is generally not open to people. A great place to walk around, savor international cuisine. The beam from the light house can be spotted from many locations around the fort area. Perfect time to visit would be evenings.

A bit touristy but deffinetely worth the visit if you enjoy history that is still visible. Lots of walking.

relaxing place Can enjoy weekend with family leisurely

Beautiful place to visit.

Nice place to visit in Galle.

Beautiful place with amazing sea view. There is acces path to beach near this light house. Light house is actively working its purpose.

Opening hours:  24 Hours Location: Rampart Street, Galle Fort, Galle 80000, Sri Lanka Entrance fee: Free Galle Lighthouse also is known as Pointe De Galle Light is Sri Lanka’s oldest light station. Established in 1848 as the first onshore lighthouse in Galle, Sri Lanka, the original 80 feet structure was destroyed by a fire and the existing second structure was built in 1939, just 100 meters away from where its predecessor stood. Standing at 26.5 meters tall the first lighthouse light was furnished with a glass prism lens supported on friction reducing Mercury bath. The bath of mercury had two purposes; one was to keep the lamp at a perfect level and the other was to make the rotation of the lamp smooth and frictionless. Like many lighthouse keepers of the old days, around the world, the lighthouse keepers at the Galle Fort lighthouse must also have been exposed to high levels of highly toxic Mercury on a daily basis. Particularly when they had to remove impurities from the top of the bath and periodically cleaning the liquid metal by passing it through chamois leather. Fortunately, the lighthouse light at Galle Fort has long been automated, and the keeper only makes the 87 feet climb for maintenance and to keep an eye on the ships entering the Galle Harbour from its high point in Point Utrecht Bastion. The Galle lighthouse is situated just a four-minute walk away from Galley 52 and nearly 4 km away from the Galle city centre.

it was a beautiful Lighthouse, a must visit place located within Galle Dutch Fort.

What a breathtaking view! Fell in love with this place!

The crown jewel of Galle Fort, perched high on the fort wall, surrounded by water on two sides the lighthouse offers some great views of the bay and water below. For the best views of the lighthouse itself, I would descend to the beach, or walk down the fort wall depending on where the sun is when you visit. The lighthouse wasn't open to go inside, and there are a few vendors surrounding it.

A lighthouse is a tower, building, or framework designed to emit light from a system of lamps and lenses or, in older times, from a fire and used as an aid to navigation and to pilots at sea or on inland waterways. Lighthouses are used to mark dangerous coastlines, hazardous shoals and reefs, and safe entries to harbours and can also assist in aerial navigation. Once widely used, the number of operational lighthouses has declined due to the expense of maintenance and replacement by modern electronic navigational aids. Visiting and photographing lighthouses are popular hobbies as is collecting ceramic replicas.

The fort is good, the lighthouse is a small structure. Although recognised as a UNESCO heritage site, the fort area is completely spoiled by couples making out at every location and nook and cranny. The fort area has some really good cafés where you can stop by for a quick bite and drinks. Apart from this and quick round the fort, there is nothing much to do here.
