Visumpaya, Government residence in Colombo, Sri Lanka
Visumpaya stands as an official government building on Lillie Street, featuring extensive gardens and dedicated spaces for diplomatic functions.
Originally constructed as Acland House for the Ceylon Rifle Regiment's Officer's mess, the property later became the Colombo Commercial Company headquarters.
The building maintains its role in Sri Lankan governance by providing accommodation for visiting heads of state and government ministers.
The residence connects directly to Dr Colvin R De Silva Mawatha and sits near Colombo Fort, offering straightforward access to transportation networks.
The property underwent nationalization in 1971 through the Business Acquisition Act, transforming from a corporate office into a governmental establishment.
