List of tallest structures in Sri Lanka



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

The majority of high-rise structures in the country are located in the commercial capital Colombo. As of May 2017, the tallest structure on the island is the Lotus Tower at 350 m, and the tallest habitable building is the Altair at 240 m.
