How to enter Galle Fort?

New Gate (Main Gate):

During Dutch rule, the old gate was used to enter and exit the fort. The need arose for a new gate to allow traffic to operate more efficiently within the box. Accordingly, in 1873, this new gate was built between the Sun and the Lunar Palace.

Old Gate:

The old gate is the entrance to the fort along the coastal road (Scout Mawatha) that leads to the Galle Fort.
