Golden Temple of Dambulla - Dambulla is a key part of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle. It features five caves carved from living rock, adorned with sculptures and murals, representing significant cultural heritage. Pre-Brahmi inscriptions from the third century BC and murals from the eighteenth century highlight a long history of human activity. UNESCO recognized this site as a World Heritage Site in 1991. The Dambulla Project, under the Central Cultural Fund, managed mural conservation from 1982 to 1998. This project, which serves as the sole research center for murals and the headquarters for mural conservation, also operates Sri Lanka’s only mural museum. It is responsible for conserving murals in nearby temples and is based at the Dambulla Cave Temple.

Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress - Also known as Sinhagiri, Sigiriya is an ancient rock fortress located in the northern Matale District of Sri Lanka, near Dambulla in the Central Province. This site holds significant historical and archaeological value, featuring a massive rock column that stands 180 meters (590 feet) tall. According to the ancient Sri Lankan chronicle, the Culavamsa, the area was originally a forest that transformed into a hill after storms and landslides. King Kashyapa (477-495 AD) chose this location as his capital, using the rock as the foundation for his palace, which he adorned with vibrant frescoes. He constructed a gateway in the shape of a giant lion on a small plateau halfway up the rock, giving rise to the name Sinhagiri (the Lion Rock), which shares an etymological similarity with Sinhapura (the Sanskrit name for Singapore, The Lion City).
