    Review of: Colombo Fort
    Colombo Port Maritime Museum
    The Colombo Fort area has lots of historical buildings and museums. One that seems not often mentioned is the Colombo Port Maritime Museum. It is located on 19 Chaithya Road, Colombo and shares the same grounds as Sambodhi Chaithya monument and is also just down the road from Colombo lighthouse.

    The museum is housed in an old dutch building and has a range of model ships and paintings of important people who have visited the country over the years. There was also a good discussion of the trade links from the early days and fits well with the story told by the Museum of Economic History.

    There is a steam engine and crain on display outfront together with some cannon.

    There was no admission charge when we visited

    Please note that this has nothing to do with the museum in Galle.

    Review of: World Trade Center
    Dominate the skyline
    The Centre is across the road from the Dutch Hospital Shopping precinct. Twin towers soars 39 storeys skyward above a 4 storey retail area. Its located in a prime area in the City, an ultra modern building of glass, steel and concrete that opened in 1997.

    Review of: Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall
    Nice Place
    The Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall, is a convention center located in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Built between 1970 and 1973, the convention centre was a gift from the People's Republic of China in memory of Solomon Ridgeway Dias Bandaranaike, Prime Minister.

    A nice place to visit to get a feel of the same. Lot of fairs and programs are organised in the premises. There are food options here. Tourists could have the same in itinerary for a drive by as well just to look at the modern architecture.

    Review of: Colombo Municipal Council
    Municipal Building
    This building is opposite the famous Viharamahadevi Park.

    The building is definitely a landmark especially with the Buddha in the park facing it.
