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.
