Experience its colonial architecture with a visit to the Fort - Colombo's three-mile long rampart originally built in the sixteenth century by the Portuguese and then further developed by the Dutch and the British. Interesting places to visit within the Fort include the Galle Face Hotel (once the mansion of a British Governor), the Presidential Secretariat (previously the Parliament house), the General Post Office building (the Delft Gateway built during the Dutch period), and the Fort Police Station (previously a Dutch hospital), St. Peter's Church and the Wovendaal Church located by the Grand Oriental Hotel.
For those interested in more contemporary Sri Lankan architecture, Tintagel will organise a tour of some of late Geoffrey Bawa's creations. Sri Lanka's most renowned and iconic architect, Bawa was responsible for linking the ancient architecture of this island with that of the modern world. The tour can include a visit to his private home, the Parliament building in Kotte, and Bawa's office which now houses the Paradise Road Gallery Café. Golfers will enjoy the Royal Colombo Golf Club which is a short 20-minute drive away.
