The Colombo Maritime Museum is located in one of the former Dutch prisons, built in 1676, making it one of the oldest Dutch buildings in Colombo. The museum has undergone many renovations up to the present day and has been open to the public since 2003. The museum has two floors, featuring unique architecture and design inspired by Italian architecture. In Colombo, you will also find many Buddhist temples, the most famous of which are Gangaramaya and Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara. Not only that, but Colombo is also a great place to shop for local handmade woven goods, and afterwards enjoy a variety of seafood and local cuisine. Colombo is a wonderful escape to a picturesque coastal city.
