...center of the frenzy is the unspoiled Galle Fort, a unesco World Heritage site in the city of Galle. Protected behind the ramparts of a 17th century Dutch citadel, the area seems like something out of a time warp, featuring homes with verandas and an array of picturesque churches and mosques. There are fewer than 200 homes inside the fort, and in the past several years adventurous foreigners have purchased more than 40 of them.
