The entrance and exit of Galle Castle are all from the New City Gate. The bus can't drive in, stop and walk in, it is the scenic spot. No tickets are charged here. The New City Gate, also known as the Main Gate, is located in the north of Galle Old City. It is very magnificent and separates the New City from the Old City. In 1873, the English opened the gates here to control traffic in and out of the old city, so the main gates are the latest part of the wall.
