About Southern Province
The Southern Province of Sri Lanka is a small geographic area consisting of the districts of Galle, Matara and Hambantota. Subsistence farming and fishing is the main source of income for the vast majority of the people of this region.
Important landmarks of the Southern Province include the wildlife sanctuaries of the Yala and Udawalawe National Parks, the holy city of Kataragama, and the ancient cities of Tissamaharama, Kirinda and Galle. (Although Galle is an ancient city, almost nothing survives from before the Portuguese invasion.) During the Portuguese period there were two famous Sinhalese poets called Andare who was from Dickwella and Gajaman Nona who was from Denipitiya in Matara District, composing poems on common man.
Om Galle-distriktet
Galle er en by beliggende på den sydvestlige spids af Sri Lanka, 119 km fra Colombo. Galle er det bedste eksempel på en befæstet by bygget af europæere i Syd- og Sydøstasien, hvilket viser samspillet mellem europæiske arkitektoniske stilarter og sydasiatiske traditioner. Galle-fortet er et verdensarvssted og den største tilbageværende fæstning i Asien bygget af europæiske besættere. Galle er en betydelig by efter srilankanske standarder og har en befolkning på 91.000, hvoraf størstedelen er af singalesisk etnicitet. Der er også et stort srilankansk maurisk mindretal, især i fortområdet, som nedstammer fra arabiske købmænd, der bosatte sig i den gamle havn i Galle. Om den sydlige provins Den sydlige provins i Sri Lanka er et lille geografisk område, der består af distrikterne Galle, Matara og Hambantota. Subsistenslandbrug og fiskeri er den primære indtægtskilde for langt de fleste af befolkningen i denne region. Vigtige vartegn i den sydlige provins inkluderer naturreservaterne i Yala og Udawalawe Nationalparker, den hellige by Kataragama og de gamle byer Tissamaharama, Kirinda og Galle. (Selvom Galle er en gammel by, er der næsten intet bevaret fra før den portugisiske invasion.) I den portugisiske periode var der to berømte singalesiske digtere ved navn Andare, der var fra Dickwella, og Gajaman Nona, der var fra Denipitiya i Matara-distriktet, som komponerede digte om almindelige mennesker.
