- Sri Lanka is a South Asian island nation in the Indian Ocean to the Southwest of Bay of Bengal and the South East of the Arab Sea. The island is situated in the Mannar Gulf and Palk Strait from the Indian subcontinent. Colombo is the biggest city and commercial hub, while Sri Jayawardenepura is the Legislative Seat.
And also, Galle is a major city in Sri Lanka, situated on the southwestern tip, 119 km from Colombo. Galle is the administrative capital of Southern Province, Sri Lanka and is the district capital of Galle District. Galle was known as Gimhathiththa and The Portuguese were the largest port on the island prior to the arrival in the 16th century. In the 18th century during the Dutch colonial period, Galle reached its peak in growth. Galle is one of the best examples of a strong town founded in South and Southeast Asia by Portuguese citizens, which shows the relationship between Portuguese and native styles. In the 17th century, the Dutch reinforced the city extensively. Fort Galle, which has been built by European occupiers as a world heritage site, is the largest remaining fortress in Asia.
The Bridge in the Sky is a viaduct in Sri Lanka, also named the Nine Arch Bridge. This is one of the best examples of colonial architecture in the world. The bridge is usually designed by a local Ceylonian contractor, P. K. Appuhami, with British engineers in consultation. The project manager and chief designer of 'Ceylon's highway road' was D. D. The distinguished Ceylonese engineer and inventor, J. Wimalasurendra. The viaduct was designed by Harold Cuthbert Marwood of the Ceylon Government Railway Railway Department. The article written by Engin in 1923 entitled "Building of a concrete viaduct in Ceylon". It is situated in Demodara, between the train stations of Ella and Demodara. Owing to the architectural ingenuity of the bridge and to the abundant greenery of the nearby hillsides the surrounding area has seen an growing degree of tourism.
Popular reports say that the Great War between the empires of Europe started when work was begun on the bridge; the stain that was allocated to this site was reassigned to British War projects on the front line. The work thus stopped, leading local people to build the bridge with bricks and cement, but without steel.
There are places with myths and places with facts. Sigiriya in Sri Lanka is a bit of the two, so it may be very difficult for you to choose between them. Some people claim it is the site of a famous Buddhist monastery, while legends tell us that Ravana had his palace from the epic Ramayana.
Including history books, a number of well known historians claim that Sigiriya is related to the Load Ravana. The top of the plateau is thought to be the magnificent Palace of Ravana, made of solid gold, built about 50 centuries ago by Kuvera, the god of riches. You could look at the site and realize how big this site would have been an architectural feat. It used to have an elevator for Ravana and his guests to the top, with about 1,000 steps to the top. Only imagine a lift that operated about 50 centuries ago! Had Tesla certainly been running back then for money.
You can find a number of caves if you closely look at the ground of this rock plateau. This story is very real because still shining paintings on the walls of the cave, depicting scenes from Ravana time. Besides, you will find many women's portraits.
Minneriya is a North Central Sri Lankan national park. On 12 August 1997 it was designated national park and declared a sanctuary of wildlife in 1938. Security of tanks and wildlife in the surrounding area is the justification for naming the area as protected. The tank was designed by King Mahasen in the third century AD and is of historic significance. For the elephant population in the Matale, Polonnaruwa and Trincomalee forests, this Park is a dry season feeder area. In the six months ending in August 2009, the park earned revenues of Rs. 10.7 million. Minneriya forms o along with Kaudulla and Girithale.
