The only place you can experience an atmosphere of antiquity like Kandy is on a trip to Sri Lanka. Your Sri Lanka tour operator won’t argue if you insist on spending at least two full days at the island’s final capital of the Sinhala Kings. The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and a wide variety of shrines and temples going back to the 14th century may be found in this city, which is tucked away in the security of a protected valley in Sri Lanka’s central hills at 500 meters (1640 feet) above sea level. After the Sinhala monarchs defeated the Portuguese and Dutch invaders in 1592, Kandy became their capital. Until 1815, they resisted the British. The historic city is also home to a number of landmarks, including the Dalada Maligawa, commonly known as the “Palace of the Sacred Tooth Relic,” which is a must-see location during your Sri Lanka vacation. Kandyan architecture is best exemplified by The Magul Maduwa – The Audience Hall, which has wooden columns.
