Independence Square is a public space located in the heart of Colombo, Sri Lanka's vibrant and bustling commercial capital. The square was constructed during the 19th century to commemorate the nation's Independence from British rule in 1948. Since then, it has become an important cultural landmark, representing national pride and freedom. It is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, who come to enjoy its lush greenery, ornate architecture and peaceful atmosphere. Its surrounding area consists of several historical monuments including the Parliament Building, Public Library and Clock Tower. Other attractions include a large fountain, open-air theater and several cafes and restaurants offering traditional Sri Lankan cuisine. The trees that line the square are home to many kinds of birds such as parakeets, sunbirds and kingfishers while monkeys can often be seen roaming around in search of food. During festive occasions such as Independence Day celebrations or religious festivals like Sinhala & Tamil New Year or Deepavali, elaborately decorated bamboo arches are erected which add color to the already beautiful surroundings. It is not only a place for relaxation but also relevant to national politics with demonstrations taking place here regularly on issues such as human rights or gender equality. Every year thousands of people flock here to celebrate their nation’s independence regardless of caste or creed indicating its deep significance within modern Sri Lankan society.
