Historical Architecture in All Saints Church - Galle fort

HI my fellow Architecture+Design Community lovers,

How are you dear friends? I hope you are doing very well. As a Poya day yesterday, I was a holiday as duty. As a result, exploring architecture long after a long time. Most of the previous occasion, I shared with this community with the unique architectural features of the religious places that connected to Buddhist places. However, this is the first time that the outside of a Catholic Church is the first time. I look forward to cover the content of the attractive architectural features of the "Church of All Saints" in Galle Fort, a historical world heritage.

The All Saints Church built in the Galle Fort, which is used in the Dutch architectural features, is built in the British colonial period. For years, I was lucky to see the prominent architects of a Catholic Church. A church in the 18th century has been widely used by the black stones. The middle of the cement is wonderful that the black patterns are well emerged. A rim of a vehicle in the front of the front was a round shape. It has created a wonderful format. Often this has been a big clock. There were several other shapes, and there was no one to know their meaning. There were three gates of the church, and it was noticed that the arches were built.

When looked from the outside, All Saints Church was a new look of the outside wall. Accordingly, I thought even the inside walls were fresh. My assumption went wrong. In fact, it was a old church in protecting historicalism. Bench woods were set to benches to the devotees who participate in worship, and they were prepared for well. A large number of concrete towers were built in this church. In the morning of Sunday, the church cannot enter. It is because of the Sunday school and Divine Worship Services. When I go, no one was staying and had a strong quiet.

When the nearly explored, it was possible to see the bottle stones that support archs. Whether there were unique technique at the time, these stone plains can be found. It is impossible to believe that large stone shapes, citizens to the customs, triangles and rectangular shapes, and eventually turned into a large stone tower. This is a fine proof that there were talented constructors in the past. The stone pillars were also seen different carvings. All Saints Church some of the old photos of a wooden gate in church, so I went to seeing them. There are many related photos that were constructed after the construction of this church was built. How important is that source of souvenirs at the same time?

The floor of this church is covered with a special type of old tile. A small round table and a few chairs, probably made in the past, are arranged for discussions. Some beautiful wood carvings can be seen here.

Since this church building is high in height, the roof is built from above. Since the gap between the roof and the ground is large, electric fans have been installed for the convenience of those who come to pray. Wood was used as a support for the roof. Lights have been installed on the walls to emit light.

The surroundings of the All Saints Church in Galle Fort are very well maintained. In particular, several trees have been planted to beautify the environment. It seems that the administration is doing a good job of this. In addition to the main church where worship is performed, I saw several other doors at the back. It can be assumed that there is another section behind this main church.
