Negombo is home to the largest community of Catholics
in Sri Lanka, a legacy of the Portuguese, who industriously spread Catholicism
all along the west coast. Portuguese surnames abound here, though the people do
not descend from the Portuguese. Their ancestors adopted a Portuguese name when
they had been baptised. In the Dutch time Negombo was important because the
highest quality cinnamon grew in this area, but with the dissapearance of the
cinnamon trade it lost its importance. |
