Itinerario

1. A beautiful garden retreat in Bentota – a piece of work that Bawa cherished throughout his life and continued to develop for about 50 years. It was one of his personal projects which turned in to a boutique hotel and is now a dream fantasy for many to have the opportunity to stay in one of the lovely suites here.

2. In 1979 Geoffrey Bawa was summoned by the president JR Jayawardana who commissioned him to design a new Parliment on the spot. With the proposed location at Kotte, Bawa's idea was to have the new parliment sit an island amidst an artificial lake.

3. Once upon a time, the office of Geoffrey Bawa, is now transformed into one of the leading restaurants in Colombo. The symbols of his brand remain strong here – open pavilions, courtyards with pillars, ponds and walkways. In addition to providing a unique dining experience, The Gallery Café is also an art gallery where the creative talents of young artists are exhibited.

About Colombo

Colombo, la mayor ciudad y capital comercial de Sri Lanka, reúne edificios coloniales, templos budistas, mercados animados y un paseo marítimo.

Galle Face Green, un largo césped junto al mar, se llena de familias, aficionados a las cometas y puestos de comida callejera cuando el sol se pone sobre el océano Índico. Cerca, el distrito del Fuerte conserva edificios coloniales como el antiguo Hospital Holandés, restaurado como tiendas y restaurantes, y la mezquita Jami Ul-Alfar, a rayas rojas y blancas, se alza sobre las abarrotadas calles comerciales de Pettah.

Top-ranked sights in Colombo: Gangaramaya Temple, Galle Face Green, Independence Square.
