Sri Lanka is home to one of the world’s oldest civilizations, with a recorded history dating back over 2550 years and influenced by Buddhist heritage. Buddhism has remarkably influenced Sri Lankan architecture too. In addition, the fascinating culture of the colonial powers that controlled Sri Lanka for nearly 450 years has affected Sri Lankan culture.

There are a lot of marvels created by our forebears scattered on the island such as temples, castles, sculptures, and irrigation systems. Today, Sri Lanka has six cultural sites and two natural sites inscribed on the UNESCO Heritage List. The best of the island is that you may explore a range of natural, cultural, and historical heritages in a few hours.
