Sightseeing

This is our National Museum. It is a great place to get information about our history and it helps to see some of this before going to the actual sites across the country. You can either see it before or after visiting the sites and it enhances your experience. We also have a Natural Histroy Meseum here which you could enjoy as well.

This is a lovely area to walk around and see the national monument with all its intricate detail. This was built to commemorate the independence of Sri Lanka from the British. Just close to it is the Arcade which is a shopping complex that has been beautifully renovated from the buildings that were the former Jawatta Lunatic Asylum and the former Western Provincial Council .
