Galle Face Green

A Kaleidoscopic Commercial Capital

The Galle Face Green is one of the more popular places in the commercial capital that allows you to take a break from the urban jungle.

The large space is ideal for your family and friends to kick back and take in the great atmosphere of the city. The evenings are considered to be the ideal time to visit, especially if you are curious to try the delectable street food!

A Look into the Galle Face Green

The Galle Face Green was once a part of the ramparts of the Colombo Fort, which was transformed into a promenade by the British during the 19th century.
In the past, the area was used as a venue for horse races and as rugby grounds, until it was declared open to the public for recreational purposes.
Food lovers should try the street food from the local vendors; namely, isso wade or kottu.
Taru Villas - Lake Lodge is just a six minute drive from here.
