Galle Fort A Guide Through The History And Presence of Galle Fort. A 120-page pocket guide book on Galle Fort through its history to the present written by Claudia Klages, a long-time German resident of Galle area. You will be fascinated by the early beginnings of this ancient port from the time of King Solomon through to the Arabs settlement, the visits by the legendary Admiral Zheng He from China, the domination by the Portuguese followed by the Dutch and the British to the present time of foreigners owning splendid renovated homes. Klages put in tremendous research including the underground drainage system placed by successive rulers. Highlights of the Galle Fort are given to prominent buildings and houses including their owners. Reading this book will bring you a wider and deeper knowledge of this bastion from the past. Only thing not mentioned is the curious impact of the December 2004 tsunami on its solid foundation. Published in 2007, the pocket-sized 120-page book with photos and illustrations is available in good bookstores around Galle. �
