Zone commerciale de l'hôpital néerlandais
Known as the oldest building in the Colombo Fort Area, the Dutch Hospital Complex dates back to the Dutch-Colonial era of Sri Lanka. After careful restoration, this heritage venue is now one of the most sought after shopping and dining precincts in Colombo. Talking about the history of the building, it was initially built by the Dutch as a hospital and was used for several purposes thereon. During the early 1980’s to the 90’s, the building was used as the Colombo Fort Police Station and suffered heavy damage from the bombing in 1996. The restoration of the Dutch Hospital Complex was completed by the year 2011 and is now a cheery place to hangout.

Galle Face Green
Situé juste au sud du Fort, Galle Face Green est un long et étroit parc face à l'océan Indien. Il regorge de stands de nourriture et de locaux en semaine et le week-end, car c'est un lieu de rencontre populaire pour se détendre. Un bras étroit du lac Beira sépare ce quartier de l'île aux Esclaves, une péninsule où les Hollandais emprisonnaient les esclaves de leurs colonies asiatiques. Galle Road, le long boulevard du front de mer de Colombo, s'étend au sud de Galle Face Green, devenant finalement la principale route côtière menant à Galle et au Sud profond. Toujours encombrée et dépourvue de charme, elle abrite néanmoins certains des meilleurs centres commerciaux et plusieurs bâtiments importants, dont la résidence officielle du Premier ministre sri-lankais, l'ambassade des États-Unis, le Haut-Commissariat britannique et certains des meilleurs hôtels cinq étoiles de la ville.
