- 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. The site includes Pre-Brahmi inscriptions from the third century BC and murals from the eighteenth century, indicating long-term human activity. UNESCO recognized it as a World Heritage Site in 1991. The Dambulla Project, under the Central Cultural Fund, managed mural conservation from 1982 to 1998.
The Dambulla Project serves as the sole research center for murals and the headquarters for mural conservation, also housing Sri Lanka’s only mural museum. It oversees mural conservation in nearby temples and is situated at the Dambulla Cave Temple.
- Sigiriya The Ancient Rock Fortress - Known as Sinhagiri, Sigiriya is an ancient rock fortress located in Sri Lanka’s northern Matale District, near Dambulla in the Central Province. This site holds historical and archaeological significance, featuring a massive rock column standing 180m (590 ft) 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 his base and embellishing his palace with vibrant frescoes. He constructed a gateway resembling a giant lion on a small plateau halfway up the rock, which inspired the name Sinhagiri (the Lion Rock), similar in etymology to Sinhapura (the Sanskrit name for Singapore, The Lion City).
