This hall was built in commemoration of the freedom from British rule and is set in the peaceful surroundings of Colombo. It has a capacity of 25,000 seats. Since the beginning, this memorial has been meant to be the symbol of the glorious history of the country.

A jogging path has been built around this area and has become a popular gathering place for kids and adults.
