What people say
Ravindu DTH
"Arcade Independence Square is a popular shopping complex in Colombo. However, this was a renovated building which was a Lunatic Asylum in the beginning when it was constructed in 1889 during the British era 🇬🇧. Later, this was occupied by many government institutions until it was refurbished and opened as an upmarket shopping mall in 2012 due to its prime location. The complex features a variety of shops, from high-end boutiques to local craft stores, and offers numerous dining options, including restaurants and cafes. Located near the Independence Memorial Hall, Arcade Independence Square is known for its serene gardens, water fountains, and open courtyards. It often hosts cultural events and live performances, making it a lively spot for both locals and tourists. With its blend of historical charm and modern amenities, it’s a must-visit destination in Colombo."
