O
Rýchle fakty: Starý holandský trh v Galle funguje nepretržite už viac ako 300 rokov pod rovnakou krytou kolonádou postavenou holandskými koloniálnymi správcami. Kokosové vlákno, škorica a čerstvé ryby sa obchodujú v tých istých kamenných koridoroch už od 17. storočia.
Zaujímavosti: Vstúpte dnu za úsvitu a uvidíte predajcov triediť kopy škoricových tyčiniek, muškátového orieška a klinčekov presne tak, ako to robili holandskí obchodníci pred tromi storočiami. Pôvodné drevené trámy stále podopierajú strechu, zatiaľ čo na nádvorí prebieha ranná aukcia čerstvo uloveného tuniaka, rituál, ktorý sa nezmenil od koloniálnych čias.
Insiderské tipy
- Arrive before 8 AM to watch the tuna auction in the courtyard, a chaotic and photogenic ritual locals have performed for generations.
- Skip the tourist spice shops near the fort entrance and buy directly from vendors inside the market for better quality and lower prices.
- Wear closed-toe shoes as the stone floors can get slippery with fish water and fallen fruit early in the morning.
- The northern end of the colonnade has the best photo opportunities, with shafts of morning light cutting through the wooden roof slats.
