Colombo Lighthouse is a Lighthouse in Colombo in Sri Lanka and it is operated and maintained by the Sri Lanka Ports Authority. It is located at Galbokka Point south of the Port of Colombo on the waterfront along the marine drive, in Colombo fort.
Located at its base is a naval gun battery that is used by the Sri Lanka Navy for its traditional gun salutes. By tradition the Navy accords a 25-gun salute to the nation on the National day, which is 4 February each year. It began with HMCyS Vijaya of the Royal Ceylon Navy, the first warship of the navy according a 25-gun salute on 4 February 1951 with its single 4-inch gun.
In 1952 two 4-inch guns where brought from the United Kingdom in preparation of the Royal visit of Princess Elizabeth, which did not occur as she return half way due to the death of her father the King. Since then the guns are mounted at the lighthouse and fire the gun salute. Three more 52 mm guns were added in 2000 as gifts from the Indian Navy which now fire the gun salutes.
