Colombo consists of breathtaking architectural sites built during the ancient Kingdom of Kotte and under the ruling of three European Colonials namely Portuguese, Dutch, and British. After gaining control over Colombo, the British Colonials, planned Colombo as a “garden city”. The Fort, the innermost area of Colombo, housed the Parliament and Governors’ House, and had been the administrative capital of British Sri Lanka. today’s Colombo is truly a multinational and multicultural city with historically important religious and sacred shrines.
