Old Colombo Dutch Hospital, Colonial hospital building in Colombo Fort, Sri Lanka.
The Old Dutch Hospital features five connected wings arranged around two courtyards, incorporating thick walls and wide verandas for natural ventilation.
Constructed in 1681, this building served as a medical facility for the Dutch East India Company personnel and sailors arriving at the nearby port.
The restored structure now houses Sri Lankan restaurants, including Ministry of Crab, which presents local seafood dishes in the historical setting.
Located near the harbor at Hospital Street, the shopping precinct remains open daily from 10:00 AM until 10:00 PM for dining and retail.
A canal that once flowed beside the structure during Dutch rule was later filled in by British authorities during their colonial administration.
