One of the most recognized places in Kalutara specifically among buddhists. Situated either side of the Colombo Galle main road. Has a scenic view adding to it’s religious importance. One of the rare places where you find a ‘chithya’ inside another and you can walk inside it

Amazing place to visit . Could not imagine how much money and effort would have gone in to building such a magnificent castle , long years ago .. very interesting story behind the castle though the end is very sad .
