This port city has much to offer and shows a lot of local culture in its markets and architecture, whose influence goes back to a true crossroads of different cultures.<\/p>\n<p>The heart of ancient Colombo is the Fort, built by us! We arrived in Sri Lanka in 1505 and made a treaty with the King of Kotte to trade cinnamon (this spice has always been of extreme importance; hence the name cinnamon is everywhere in the country!).<\/p>\n<p>Of course, once we were allowed to stay in the city, it was only a matter of time before we drove out the locals and managed to take over the kingdom. To this day, that part of the city started by Portuguese hands is known as Fort.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31479\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31479\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/flavorsandsenses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Srilanka20-306.jpg\" rel=\"mfp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31479 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/flavorsandsenses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Srilanka20-306.jpg\" alt=\"Pal\u00e1cio Presidencial\" width=\"1200\" height=\"906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flavorsandsenses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Srilanka20-306.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/flavorsandsenses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Srilanka20-306-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/flavorsandsenses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Srilanka20-306-1024x773.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/flavorsandsenses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Srilanka20-306-768x580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/flavorsandsenses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Srilanka20-306-450x340.jpg 450w, https:\/\/flavorsandsenses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Srilanka20-306-370x280.jpg 370w, https:\/\/flavorsandsenses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Srilanka20-306-225x170.jpg 225w, https:\/\/flavorsandsenses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Srilanka20-306-900x680.jpg 900w, https:\/\/flavorsandsenses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Srilanka20-306-20x15.jpg 20w, https:\/\/flavorsandsenses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Srilanka20-306-740x560.jpg 740w, https:\/\/flavorsandsenses.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Srilanka20-306-127x96.jpg 127w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31479\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Presidential Palace<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Presidential Palace and many of the city\u2019s hotels are located in this area, which was heavily affected by the Civil War and remains heavily policed today.<\/p>\n<p>Although I haven\u2019t been able to visit yet, from my research and what Parveen has shown us, there are certain places in Colombo that are highly recommended to visit:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clocktower Lighthouse<\/strong> \u2013 from 1987 it was intended to be the highest point in the city.<br \/>\n<strong>Old Galle Buch Lighthouse<\/strong> \u2013 from 1954 that has a naval base.<br \/>\n<strong>Dutch Hospital<\/strong> \u2013 former hospital but now full of bars and restaurants<br \/>\n<strong>Sri Kailawasanathar Swami Devasthanam<\/strong> \u2013 beautiful Hindu temple.<\/p>\n<p>Acabamos por passear bastante a p\u00e9 pela \u00e1rea de <em>Pettah<\/em>, que fica fora do Forte,\u00a0com as suas ruelas e mais ruelas de tudo o que \u00e9 local e artesanal, o caos\u00a0completo! Aqui ainda tentamos visitar a <strong>Mesquita <em>Jami ul-Alfar<\/em><\/strong>, mas estava\u00a0encerrada, pelo que pudemos apenas vislumbrar a sua fachada vermelha e\u00a0branca.<br \/>\nPara quem quiser explorar os templos, tem tamb\u00e9m:<br \/>\n<strong>Templo Budista de Gangaramaya<\/strong> \u2013 um dos mais antigos da cidade.<br \/>\n<strong>Templo Seema Malaka<\/strong> \u2013 no lago Beira j\u00e1 do s\u00e9culo XX, do renomado arquiteto\u00a0<em>Geoffrey Bawa<\/em>.<br \/>\n<strong>Templo de Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara<\/strong> \u2013 templo mais importante de Colombo.<\/p>\n<p>We spent some time walking around the Pettah area, which is located outside the Fort. It was a maze of local and artisanal shops, with alleys leading to more alleys. Despite the chaos, we attempted to visit the<strong> Jami ul-Alfar Mosque<\/strong>, but unfortunately, it was closed. We only got a glimpse of its impressive red and white facade. For those interested in exploring temples, there are several options, including:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gangaramaya Buddhist Temple \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0one of the oldest in the city;<br \/>\n<strong>Seema Malaka Temple<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 located on Lake Beira, designed by renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa in the 20th century.<br \/>\n<strong>Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara Temple \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0considered the most important temple in Colombo.<\/p>\n<p>Also unmissable:<br \/>\n<strong>Independence Memorial<\/strong> \u2013 built in 1948 when Sri Lanka gained independence from England.<br \/>\n<strong>Vihara Mahadevi Gardens<\/strong> \u2013 with its Buddhist statue in front of the Town Hall building and the National Museum.<br \/>\nThe city deserves two days! But with a shorter journey, options had to be made!<\/p>\n<p>Now we can only go back to Sri Lanka to do everything that remains to be done!<br \/>\nWhen we left the country, we didn\u2019t know that this would be our last trip for a long time, nor did we know that we had to keep this trip very well in our minds because it would be the last one before what came to change our world for the longest time.
