Hoogtepunten

  • 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.

De missie: Jouw verhaal in Colombo

Colombo Fort has survived the centuries mostly by staying useful, not by standing still. In 1980, architect Ronald Lewcock listed the Fort's buildings worth saving. Your mission is to assist a small heritage-conservation collective finish what it started: tracing eleven buildings' real chain of title - who built them, who owns them now, and what kept them standing through two centuries of change. 

Most of what you'll find is a genuine conservation story. A couple of stops will surprise you.

Colombo's stories found me on walks with my mother in her last years. They were hidden in plain sight - in our own neighbourhood. I've been exploring and uncovering them across different neighbourhoods of this fascinating city ever since. Welcome to Colombo Untold.
