The national political capital is Sri Jayawadenapura Kotte (Kotte, meaning Fortress), just east of the major city and former capital of Colombo. Most of the administrative functions, and diplomatic missions, are still centered in Colombo, some 30 years after the official relocation of Parliament in 1982.

The two cities are located on the lower west coast.

Since 100 AD, the national capital has been located in several cities, including Kotte. Their historical order is:

Anuradhapura

Plonnaruwa

Anuradhapura

Galigamuwa

Kotte (1391)

Kandy (1592)

Colombo (1815)

Kotte (1982)

Sri Jayewardenepura Kotte is the official capital of Sri Lanka, an island country in South Asia.
