1 review of Triton Bastion

One of the best places to go to watch the sunset

The Triton Bastion, built during the reign of the Dutch governor Vuyst, at the beginning of the eighteenth century, was a strengthening of the existing seawall in the southern colonial city of Galle. It was equipped with eight guns for defense. Since it was registered as a world heritage site of UNESCO, the site has benefited from a major refurbishment program, and now it looks almost the same as it did during the colonial era. It even managed to survive the tsunami of 2004. The Triton Bastion was previously used as a mill for the sea water, which was then used to reduce dust on the streets of the city.

It is one of the best places to go to watch the sunset, although there are also several bars and restaurants nearby that allow you to do the same from their balconies, and have a drink.
