Округ Коломбо
Коломбо — коммерческая столица и крупнейший город Шри-Ланки по населению. Согласно данным Brookings Institution, в метрополитенской области Коломбо проживает 5,6 миллиона человек, а в самом городе — 752 993. Это финансовый центр острова и туристическое направление. Город расположен на западном побережье острова и примыкает к большей области Коломбо, которая включает в себя Сри-Джаяварденепура Котте, законодательную столицу Шри-Ланки, и Дехивалу-Маунт-Лавинию. Коломбо часто называют столицей, так как Сри-Джаяварденепура-Котте находится в городской зоне Коломбо и является его пригородом. Это также административная столица Западной провинции и столица района Коломбо.
Благодаря своему большому порту и стратегическому расположению на морских торговых путях Восток-Запад, Коломбо было известно древними торговцами 2000 лет назад. Город стал столицей острова, когда Шри-Ланка была передана Британской империи в 1815 году, и его статус столицы сохранялся, когда страна стала независимой в 1948 году. В 1978 году, когда административные функции были переданы в Сри-Джаяварденепура-Котте, Коломбо было назначено коммерческой столицей Шри-Ланки.
Как и многие другие города, городская территория Коломбо значительно выходит за пределы одной местной власти, охватывая другие муниципальные и городские советы, такие как Муниципальный совет Сри-Джаяварденепура-Котте, Муниципальный совет Дехивала Маунт-Лавиния, Городской совет Колоннава, Муниципальный совет Кадуэла и Прадешия Сабха Котикаватте Муллериява. Главный город является домом для большинства корпоративных офисов Шри-Ланки, ресторанов и мест для развлечений.
Знаменитые достопримечательности Коломбо включают: Галле Фейс Грин, Парк Вихарамахадеви, ипподром Коломбо, Озеро Бейра, Пляж Маунт-Лавиния, планетарий, Зоопарк Дехивала, Университет Коломбо, Театр Нелум Покуна, Башня Лотоса Коломбо и Национальный музей.
