Colombo development stock photo

A person silhouetted take a photo from the open windows on the top floor of the rio theatre/hotel in what was once the nightclub floor. Once a jewel of Slave Island the Rio theatre was once a nightclub and hotel until the 1983 race riots where the rooms and hotel were in a state of disrepair, the building has since become derelict with only the cinema in operation. Slave Island is home to numerous small houses occupied by some of colombo's working class, as gentrification & development encroaches land in the now highly valuable slave island is slowly pushing out locals from the area. Slave Island is a suburb in Colombo, Sri Lanka located directly south of the Fort area of Colombo
