Delft Pigeon Nest and old hospital grounds

Delft IslandAllow around 30 min

Delft’s stone dovecote has rows of small openings once used to house messenger pigeons. Visit the structure and the associated old hospital grounds as one heritage stop. Its unusual design offers a different view of island history from the nearby fort ruins.

Before you go

Agrabodhi Raja Maha Viharaya

Weligama

Agrabodhi is a Buddhist temple in Weligama with a longstanding Bodhi-tree tradition. Its religious grounds offer a cultural pause within the coastal town, with worship taking priority over sightseeing. Keep this named temple separate from the nearby Kushtarajagala carving and Rajakulawadana Viharaya when choosing the places to visit.
