Kaludiya Pokuna, Kandalama

Sigiriya

Kaludiya Pokuna near Kandalama preserves the remains of a forest monastery amid trees and stone-built archaeological features. The setting gives a different perspective on the region’s heritage from Sigiriya’s royal complex. This is the Kandalama-area site associated with the name Kalupokuna, distinct from the similarly named pond and monastery area at Mihintale.

Sigiriya Museum

Sigiriya

Sigiriya Museum introduces the archaeology, planning and material culture of the Sigiriya site through objects, displays and interpretive context. It can deepen a traveller’s understanding of the wider heritage landscape, but it is a separate museum visit and should not be treated as a substitute for, or the entrance to, Sigiriya Rock Fortress.

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.
