Independence Square in Colombo.
Independence Square in Colombo.
A stunning colonial building. Inside 15 rooms all dedicated to different parts of Sri Lanka’s history.
The main entrance to the "independence Arcade" overlooking Independence Square at dusk. This clock tower building was restored to its former glory early this year. Now housing some of the up market retail stores.
The Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH), is a convention center located in Colombo. Built between 1970 and 1973, the convention center was a gift from the People's Republic of China in memory of Solomon Ridgeway Dias Bandaranaike, Prime Minister of Sri Lanka from 1956 to 1959. The construction of the Hall was carried out by a joint Sri Lankan and Chinese workforce with a considerable portion of the building materials being imported from China. In 1998 a small Exhibition Centre, the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Memorial Exhibition Centre, was built on the grounds as a gift from China. The BMICH premises is managed by the S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike National Memorial Foundation (BNMF) which is chaired by the President of Sri Lanka. The BNMF has an academic wing specialized in International Relations, Languages & Cultural Studies named "Bandaranaike Centre for International Studies (BCIS)" located within the BMICH premises.

The room was spacious, air conditioned and clean, with ...

Very cool, obviously was an incredible place back in the day, we enjoyed our stay in the royal suite, some of the decor needs a bit of attention if its going to be a proper 5 star. Worth the money all in all and I would atay again.

Gangaramaya temple is situated just 1km away from the heart of Colombo. I highly recommend you to visit this place if you find yourself in Sri Lanka. You will witness thousands of temples while you are traveling around Sri Lanka. All those temples are influenced by Theravada. But, Gangaramaya temple is influenced by a mixture of Theravada and Mahayana and it's really a nice place.
