The
Old
Parliament
stands
wide,
surrounded
by
an
urban
landscape,
creating
a
strong
impression
of
the
island
country’s
colonial
history.
The
Neo-Baroque
style
of
architecture
and
the
garden
around
it
that
houses
bronze
statues
of
eminent
statesmen,
make
for
a
beautiful,
warm
picture
of
substance.
Built
in
the
colonial
era
to
house
the
Legislative
Council
of
Ceylon,
today,
it
is
home
to
the
Presidential
Secretariat.
The
grandeur
and
national
importance
of
this
building
makes
it
the
perfect
venue
for
many
state
events.
Since
it
is
a
high-security
zone,
it
is
always
patrolled
by
the
armed
forces
and
entry
for
general
public
is
prohibited.
However,
it
is
worth
a
visit,
even
from
a
distance.
