Colombo at a Glance

Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, is situated in the western province of the island. Due to its prime location on the western coast of Sri Lanka, Colombo grew as a seaport for trade between Asia and the West. It was used by the Moors, Romans, Arabs, Persians, and Chinese ships for the island's much sought after cinnamon and gems. It is said that the name Colombo was first introduced by the Portuguese in 1505 and is believed to be derived from the classical Sinhalese name 'Kolon thota' (port on the river Kelani) or 'Kola-amba-thota' (harbor with leafy mango trees). The city offers historical monuments, colonial architecture, beaches, fine dining and shopping. Its architecture has been influenced by Portuguese, Dutch, and British colonization.
