| Description |
Old Colombo Lighthouse is a Lighthouse in Colombo in Sri Lanka. It is not operational any more, but functions as a clock tower and is designated as a monument. It is located at the junction of Chatham Street and Janadhipathi Mawatha (formally Queens road) in Colobmo fort. This tower was first established as a clock tower in 1860, the lantern was apparently added in 1860. The original clock (made by the same manufacturer as “Big Ben”) was replaced in 1913. The light was eventually blocked by tall buildings and was replaced (deactivated in 1952) by the new Colombo Lighthouse at Galbokka Point. 1860 (station established 1829). Inactive since 1952. 29 m (95 ft) square cylindrical brick tower with lantern and gallery is the only lighthouse in the world which also tells the time in the middle of the busy road [lankapura.com] |
