The experience
About this quest
Colombo Fort is filled with old buildings, each telling a unique story and each building worth saving.
Join a fictional heritage-conservation mission to uncover the stories behind eleven buildings. Perfect for history lovers, heritage conservationists, curious locals, and anyone who loves a treasure hunt style walk.
Please note that the buildings at some stops are not open during weekends or public holidays. You will still be able to undertake the challenge but not be able to view the interior.

What makes this quest special
Highlights
Walk from the Fort's last surviving Dutch gate to a 1684 foundation stone hidden inside a supermarket and a monument that isn't what it claims, ending with art and coffee at Radicle.
For the full experience, a visit on a weekday (8am - 3pm) is recommended, as some buildings are closed on weekends & public holidays and open only briefly on weekdays.
