Galle Face Burial Ground

Colombo

Galle Face Burial Ground (also known as the Garrison Cemetery) was a former cemetery located in Colombo, Ceylon. It was established in 1803 by the British administration in response to the lack of burial sites for British nationals who died in Ceylon, and was used for burials until 1877. In the 1920s, when the site was redeveloped, the graves were relocated to Kanatte Cemetery, the main burial ground and crematorium in Colombo.
