- Galle Face Beach - Galle Face is a 5-hectare (12-acre) ocean-side urban park, stretching 500 meters (1,600 feet) along the coast, in the heart of Colombo, the financial and business capital of Sri Lanka. The promenade was initially laid out in 1859 by Governor Sir Henry George Ward, although the original Galle Face Green covered a much larger area than it does today. Initially, Galle Face Green was used for horse racing and as a golf course, but it was also used for cricket, polo, football, tennis, and rugby.

- Temple of Sri Kailawasanathan Swami Devasthanam Kovil - Located in the heart of Colombo in Maradana, Sri Kaileswaram Kovil in the Captain’s Garden is considered the oldest Sivan Kovil in Colombo. Although the kovil is situated in the center of Maradana, it is isolated from all sides by a network of railway tracks and is not as easily accessible as one might think. The entrance to Kovil Street is near a popular landmark, the second-hand bookshops of D.R. Wijewardene Mawatha, and the road crosses over the Fort railway lines, ending at the Kovil grounds.
- Independence Square - Independence Memorial Hall (also known as Independence Commemoration Hall) is a national monument in Sri Lanka, built to commemorate the country’s independence from British rule, with the restoration of full governing responsibility to a Ceylonese-elected legislature on February 4, 1948. It is located in Independence Square (formerly Torrington Square) in Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo. It also houses the Independence Memorial Museum.
