We study computable topological spaces and semicomputable and computable sets in these spaces. In particular, we investigate conditions under which semicomputable sets are computable. We prove that a semicomputable compact manifold $M$ is computable if its boundary $\partial M$ is computable. We also show how this result combined with certain construction which compactifies a semicomputable set leads to the conclusion that some noncompact semicomputable manifolds in computable metric spaces are computable.
