Colombo
Colombo is the commercial capital and largest city in Sri Lanka by population. According to the Brookings Institute, the Colombo metropolitan area has a population of 5.6 million, and 752,993 in the city itself.
History of Colombo
Due to its large harbour and its strategic position along the East-West sea trade routes, Colombo was known to ancient traders 2,000 years ago. It was made the capital of the island when Ceylon was ceded to the British Empire in 1815, and its status as capital was retained when the nation became independent in 1948.
Colombo Today
Colombo is the financial centre of the island and a popular tourist destination. It is located on the west coast of the island. Colombo is a busy and vibrant place, with a mixture of modern life and colonial buildings and ruins.
The city is home to the majority of Sri Lanka's corporate offices, restaurants and entertainment venues.
Famous landmarks in Colombo include Galle Face Green, Viharamahadevi Park, Beira Lake, Colombo Racecourse, the Planetarium, the University of Colombo, Mount Lavinia beach, Dehiwala Zoological Garden, the Nelum Pokuna Theatre, the Colombo Lotus Tower as well as the National Museum.

ශ්‍රී ලංකා පරිසර සහ ස්වාභාවික සම්පත් අමාත්‍යංශය විසින් ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ ජාතික සමනළයා ලෙස ශ්‍රී ලංකා මහකුරුළු පිය පැපිලියා නම් සමනළ විශේෂය ප්‍රකාශයට පත්කලා.
මහකුරුළු පිය පැපිලියා – Sri Lanka Birdwing – Troides Darsius ශ්‍රී ලංකාවේ විශාලතම සමනළ විශේෂය වන අතර, මෙරට බහුලව දක්නට ලැබෙන ශ්‍රී ලංකාවට ආවේණික සමනළ විශේෂයක්.
දර්ශනීය බාහිර රූපකායක් සහිත මෙම සමනළයාගේ ඉදිරි තටු කළු පැහැතිය. කළු පැහැති දාර වලින් යුතු පසුපස තටු රන්වන් කහ පැහැතිය.
කිසියම් රටක් විසින් ජීවී විශේෂ තම ජාතික අනන්‍යතාවය ලෙස ප්‍රකාශයට පත් කිරීමේ අරමුණ වන්නේ එම සත්ව විශේෂ සංරක්ෂණය සඳහා වැඩි අවධානයක් ලබා ගැනීමයි.
මෙම සමනළ කාණ්ඩය තර්ජනයට ලක්වූ ගණයට අයත් නොවූවත් සමස්තයක් වශයෙන් ශ්‍රී ලංකාවට ආවේණික සමනළ විශේෂ මිනිස් ක්‍රියාකාරකම් නිසා සිදුවන පරිසර වෙනස්කම් හේතුවෙන් තර්ජනයට ලක්වී තිබෙනවා.
