Map of the fort and city of Colombo

Anoniem / Anonymous

Photograph of a 17th century map of the fort and city of Colombo, with the buildings shown in elevation.

Held in the Colombo Archives, inv. nr. COL38TL.

The map probably dates back to before the capture of Portuguese Colombo, given that all the buildings and bastions still bear the Portuguese names.

Compare with TG0669.
