Colombo, the capital and largest city of Sri Lanka, is located on the southwest coast and is an important port city on the Indian Ocean route. As the political, economic and cultural center of the country, it combines the architectural remains of the colonial period with the modern urban style, such as the Dutch Hospital, Independence Square and Birla Lake and other attractions. The Port of Colombo, Sri Lanka's premier deep-water port, is responsible for much of the country's foreign trade, and the business district is a concentration of shopping centers, financial firms and international hotels. A multicultural mix of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Christianity, a vibrant mix of street food, traditional handicrafts and bustling markets such as the Dehiwela Market attract global travelers to explore this "Crossroads of the East".
