Editing Colombo (section)

===Dutch-era buildings===

There are none of the buildings of the Portuguese era and only a few from the Dutch period. These include the oldest building in the fort area, the [[Old Colombo Dutch Hospital|former Dutch Hospital]], the Dutch House which is now the [[Colombo Dutch Museum]] and several churches. The [[President's House, Colombo|President's House]] (formerly the Queen's House) was originally the Dutch governor's house and successive British governors made it their office and residence. However, it has undergone much change since the Dutch period. Adjoining the President's House are the Gordon Gardens, now off-limits to the public.<ref name="oldCMB1"/><ref name="oldCMB2"/><ref>{{Cite web |last=Ramerini |first=Marco |title=Asia.
