Beira Lake, located in the heart of Colombo, Sri Lanka, is a man-made reservoir surrounded by bustling businesses. Originally built by the Portuguese for protection, the lake has a rich history dating back to the colonial era. Over time, the lake has shrunk in size due to land reclamation and pollution, but it remains a significant landmark in the city. Despite its challenges, efforts are underway to restore and preserve this iconic water body for future generations to enjoy.
