Map of the fort and city of Colombo

Photograph of a print showing a map of the fort and city of Colombo, 17th century; this print is a 'negative' of the original print.

The buildings are shown in elevation.

Held in the Colombo Archives, inv. nr. COL36TL.

Compare TG0647.

This map probably predates the capture of Portuguese Colombo, given that all the buildings and bastions still bear Portuguese names.
