About this experience

Lankatilaka Vihara

Perched on a rocky outcrop with sweeping views, Lankatilaka Vihara is one of the finest surviving examples of Gampola-era architecture, blending Sinhalese, South Indian and Chinese influences. Its towering brick image house shelters a colossal seated Buddha and vividly painted wall murals.
