List of tallest structures in Sri Lanka

Colombo Skyline.

The following page lists the tallest buildings and structures in Sri Lanka in terms of highest architectural detail. Apart from the historical timeline of tallest structures, structures which are shorter than 20-floors (for habitable buildings) or 100 m (328 ft) (for non-habitable structures) are excluded. Whereas structures which are under construction but have topped-out, are included in this list.
