About Colombo

Colombo, plus grande ville du Sri Lanka, réunit monuments coloniaux, temples bouddhistes, marchés animés et promenade en bord de mer.

Galle Face Green, une longue pelouse en bord de mer, se remplit de familles, de joueurs de cerf-volant et d'étals de cuisine de rue quand le soleil se couche sur l'océan Indien. Tout près, le quartier du Fort conserve des bâtiments coloniaux comme l'ancien Hôpital hollandais, restauré en boutiques et restaurants, et la mosquée Jami Ul-Alfar, rayée de rouge et de blanc, s'élève au-dessus des rues marchandes bondées de Pettah.
