Town Hall, Colombo, Municipal building in central Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The Town Hall stands in front of Viharamahadevi Park with a central dome and Corinthian columns extending across its neoclassical stone facade.
The building opened on August 9, 1928, following an international architectural competition won by S. J. Edwards among 32 submissions in 1922.
The Town Hall serves as the primary meeting location for the Colombo Municipal Council and houses the official chambers of the city mayor.
Visitors can access the building during regular business hours to observe the administrative functions and architectural details of the municipal headquarters.
The structure's design draws inspiration from the United States Capitol Building, featuring similar classical elements adapted to Sri Lankan context.
