Proposed Development

Old Post Office land at Galle Fort

The old post office was one of the five first post offices opened in the colony by the British. This building was constructed during the Dutch occupation as the Dutch Governor’s official residence. The post office building was gazetted as an Archeological Protected Monument in 1974 and in 1988, UNESCO declared Galle Fort a World Heritage Site.  

 

The Urban Development Authority (UDA) has initiated action to restore the dilapidated Post Office Building and propose to convert the use of the building to luxury restaurants, museum for Department of Postal, a Mini Post Office depicting the history and hotel rooms in a new building block towards the vacant portion of the land.
