Sri Lanka offers a wealth of historical and cultural treasures that can be explored through its various
historical sites. The island's rich civilization and customs can be discovered by visiting the Cultural Triangle, where you can witness ancient structures like dagobas and ruins in Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa.
The iconic attractions include the temple at Dambulla with its impressive stairway and the breathtaking frescoes of heavenly maidens at Sigiriya. Additionally, the hill country is home to Kandy, the former royal capital, which houses the Sacred Temple of the Tooth, a significant Buddhist relic. For a taste of Sri Lanka's colonial heritage, head south to Galle, where you'll find the well-preserved Dutch fort, a bustling reminder of the country's past as a major port.
