Independence Square

It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the museum. This is a lot of squares, which are said to be a place to celebrate independence. Its greening is well done and suitable. Walking here at dusk.

This is the site of Sri Lanka's independence ceremony on February 4, 1948, to commemorate Sri Lanka's independence from British colonial rule. The memorial hall is surrounded by no walls, airy and bright, suitable for the tropical climate of South Asia.

The Independence Memorial Hall in the center of the square was built to mimic the hall where the royal family received pilgrims during the Kandy Dynasty, and it is easy to take deep photos in the memorial hall. Surrounded by 60 stone lions symbolizing the Sinhalese, each is said to represent a king, with a statue of Sri Lanka's founding prime minister on the back.

@🇱🇰 Sri Lanka, the venue for the Independence Memorial Hall in Colombo and Independence Square Sri Lanka, held on February 4, 1948. Walk up the memorial hall to visit the "Kandy Culture" and you will see elephants, lions and patterns depicting the history of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Around the memorial there are 60 stone lions symbolizing the Sinhalese, each representing a king, reflecting the style of Kandy culture. The square is located on the back of the Independence Memorial, and the square echoes the memorial, which has a statue of D. Ssenyonak.

It was built a year earlier than the founding of the People's Republic of China and is a symbol of Sri Lanka's independence. Every stone pillar in the memorial hall is carved with exquisite murals and is different. And it is still a popular place to shoot wedding photos, and I saw a lot of new people shooting here that day, wearing grand holiday clothes.

The Independence Memorial is in the center of Independence Square, with a statue of the founding Prime Minister Sennayak in front, and the small White House behind, surrounded by lion arches. It is said that the hall of the royal family's reception of the emperors during the Kandy Dynasty was built, and we saw a teak structure in the temple of the Buddha Tooth Temple, almost exactly the same, just a reduction in proportion. The white black-hooked golden elephant decoration top, supported by multiple stone pillars, the whole building has no wall, in the hot Sri Lanka, creating a cool and peaceful place in the natural environment, so many citizens rest there.
