Sri Lanka has many buildings left over from British colonial rule. The Old Parliament Building is one of them. It is backed by the landmark of Colombo, the Twin Towers Tower, facing the Indian Ocean. The Garfield Green Square is in front of the door. It is guarded by soldiers with live ammunition and is not allowed to visit. In the evening, many people go for a walk and watch the sunset on the sea in Galerphis Green Square. There is a flag-raising platform in the middle of the square. There is a flag-lowering ceremony for the Navy at 6 p.m. every night.

    The Old Parliament Building is a new Baroque building built during British colonial rule. The building faces the Indian Ocean and witnesses a history of British colonial rule. This old Parliament House represents Sri Lanka's history during British colonial rule, witnessing the awakening of national consciousness by the Sri Lankan people under colonial rule in the Buddhist revival movement, witnessing the surging wave of workers' strikes. Visit this old Capitol and feel the colonial history. [View] The nearby scenery is good. You can go for a walk! [Fun] The bird and the crow are everywhere [Cost-effective] No money, just go shopping!

    It used to be the city center of Colombo, and now it is. Behind it is the Castle District. Many banks and airlines work in the back building. In front of it is the Indian Ocean. The scenery is very beautiful.

    The Old Parliament Building is a new Baroque style building built in the period of British colonial rule. The building faces the Indian Ocean. When the building of the Parliament Building (then known as the Legislative Council Building) was built, Mr. Sir Henry McCallum, then Governor of the British Ceylon Colonial Government, put forward the bold idea of reclamation in the northern part of California. At the same time, in order to facilitate the communication between the various departments of the colonial government, in addition to the Legislative Council, several colonial government agencies also worked in the skirt building attached to the building until Sri Lanka officially declared its independence on February 4, 1948 and became an autonomous territory of the Commonwealth, which was designated Ceylon. On May 22, 1972, Ceylon was officially renamed Sri Lanka.

    The old Parliament Building is opposite the Galatari Hotel and faces the Indian Ocean. Be on guard. Military guards armed with live ammunition. There are also many sculptures, such as the White House in the United States. Scenic spots worth visiting

    It's a magnificent building built during the British colonial period. It's located in Colombo, not far from the sea. It's typical of Baroque style. It can only take pictures outside if it's not allowed to visit. It's beautiful.
