Discover Old Colombo Lighthouse

Built during the British reign of Sri Lanka. This non-operational, neo-classical lighthouse is now a renovated clocktower near Chatham Street. The clock mechanism in the tower was originally made by the famous English clock manufacturers, Dent (who also happened to have manufactured the “Big Ben” clock mechanism) in the year 1852. Later the clock was replaced in the year 1913 by the British. You would definitely visit there if you wanted to exchange some dollars.
