Galle Face Green

Galle Face Green is a 5-hectare (12-acre) ocean-side urban park located in the heart of Colombo, Sri Lanka. Originally laid out in 1859 by Governor Sir Henry George Ward, it was initially used for horse racing and has since evolved into a popular recreational area for families, picnickers, and sports enthusiasts. The park features lush greenery, walking paths, and stunning ocean views, making it a favourite spot for relaxation and social gatherings. It is surrounded by colonial buildings and luxury hotels, offering a blend of natural beauty and cultural significance.

Old Parliament Building

Old Parliament House, originally known as the Provisional Parliament House, was officially opened on May 9, 1927. It was designed to accommodate the federal government after the relocation of Parliament from Melbourne to Canberra. The building was intended to be a temporary solution until a more permanent structure could be constructed, but it remained in use for over six decades, witnessing significant events in Australian history, including the declaration of war against Japan in 1941 and the dismissal of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam in 1975.
