Many visitors explore the interior of the Hall, which was constructed to commemorate the victory gained from British rule in 1948.
- Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara - After enjoying lunch at a local restaurant, experience the Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara. Situated on the banks of the Kelaniya River, this temple is one of Sri Lanka’s most sacred sites. It is believed that Buddha, along with 500 Arahats (Supremely enlightened beings), visited Kelaniya on the weekday of the Buddhist Era 2531, imparting the Dhamma, the Buddhist doctrine, to the island’s inhabitants.
- Old Parliament Building - Later, visit the Old Parliament Building, which houses the Presidential Secretariat of Sri Lanka. Located in Colombo Fort facing the sea, it is near the President’s residence. The building served as the island’s legislative chamber for over 53 years until the New Parliament Complex opened at Sri Jayewardenepura in 1983, alongside the General Treasury Building.
- Colombo Fort - Afterwards, explore Colombo Fort. This vibrant area of Colombo was initially constructed by the Portuguese and further developed by the Dutch after they overthrew the Portuguese rule. The Colombo Fort and Colombo Harbor have a rich history, having been used by Greeks, Egyptians, and Arabian traders for shipping purposes until 1506.
- Galle Face Green - The final stop is Galle Face Green. Originally established in 1859 by Governor Sir Henry George Ward, it served as grounds for football, rugby, cricket, tennis, polo, golf, and horse racing. It is the largest open space in Colombo and a popular destination for spending time with family and friends.
