Hotel description
This hotel was built within the walls of an ancient fort with a centuries-old history. From Sanskrit, "Aman" is translated as "peace", and "galla" is the name of the city of Galle, where the hotel is located. According to legend, sailors from Portugal were the first to sail to the shores of the exotic island of Sri Lanka, and saw a rooster crowing on the very top of the cliff. The coat of arms of the city of Galle depicts that same rooster on the top of the cliff.
More than a thousand years ago, the city of Galle was one of the largest ports and the center of world trade, where Persian, Chinese and Arab merchants sailed. Many monuments of Portuguese colonization and a Capuchin monastery have survived to this day. Later, a fort with massive fortifications was built here, and the width of the fortress walls reaches 20 meters.
In 1988, this fort was included in the list of historical and cultural heritage of UNESCO. The Amangalla Hotel is located on its territory. The luxurious Amangalla Hotel is a great base for exploring the history of the ancient city of Galle during your Sri Lanka tour, as well as the exotic nature of this amazing island. During the reconstruction of the fort, designers and architects preserved the historical monuments and the atmosphere of the colonial past, which is conveyed in the interiors of many of the rooms.
