About this Pita Kotte map poster
Pita Kotte lies within Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, the legislative capital of Sri Lanka, just east of Colombo. From above, it is a dense area of winding streets and residential lanes, interrupted by patches of wetland and the waters of the Diyawanna lake nearby. The terrain is low and marshy, and water shapes the pattern of roads and settlement throughout.
Kotte was the capital of a Sinhalese kingdom in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, and Pita Kotte, meaning outer Kotte, recalls the old layout of the royal city. Traces of ancient ramparts survive in the area. Today it is a busy residential and commercial district, closely connected to Colombo and to the nearby parliament complex on its island in the lake.
A Pita Kotte map poster brings together old and new: the irregular lanes of a historic settlement, the open water of the lakes and marshes, and the modern roads that link it to the capital. In black and white, the wetlands become soft, open areas that frame the dense streets and give the composition a calm, layered feel.
