Galle Lighthouse, also known as Pointe de Galle Light, is an iconic coastal beacon located within the historic Galle Fort in Galle, Sri Lanka. Established in 1848, it is the oldest lighthouse in the country. The current structure, which stands at 26.5 meters (87 feet) tall, was rebuilt in 1939 after the original was destroyed by fire. Positioned on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, it serves as a crucial navigational aid for maritime traffic entering and leaving the Galle Harbor.
