The capital of Sri Lanka is Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte and Colombo is the main commercial city. Also, Colombo is the most populous city in Sri Lanka. It is over 625000. It covers an area of 37 square kilometers. It is home to museums and places of interest that reflect the rich history of Sri Lanka. In Colombo you can see how the incredible culture and history of the country as well as the colonial history (Portuguese, Dutch and British) have made it an additional tourist attraction. Although Colombo is the main commercial capital of the country, the main central business area is known as Fort, where you can find government buildings, major bank offices, luxury shopping and many large hotels. This area is named as the fort because of the original Portuguese fort that protected the port area. The port city of Colombo, which has now been filled with seawater in the area, has added a beautiful new look. Nearby, Galle Face Green is a large ocean front garden. Colombo is a good place to visit during your visit to Sri Lanka.
