    This Buddhist temple is situated inside the World Heritage site Galle Dutch Fort . Facing the Indian ocean it has beautiful views. A calm and tranquil place worthy of a visit if you are in Galle Dutch Fort.

    The Sudharmalaya Temple is a Buddhist temple situated within the Galle Fort, which is one of Sri Lanka’s five UNESCO world heritage sites. It sits at the heart of the fort’s main western street (called Rampart Street) opposite the Clippenberg Bastion. A statue of a sitting Buddha outside the small white-painted temple faces the sea over the bastion. Inside, the Sudharmalaya Temple contains a prayer hall, a mini stupa that dates as far back as 1889, a large statue of a reclining Lord Buddha as well as several smaller statues. There is also a small belfry atop the temple’s prayer hall

    If you're a Traveller, you'll definitely need to make it to the temple. Open to all factions of life, the temple has quite a bit of history and the artifacts and statues are of great historical value. Be respectful when entering since it is a holy place of worship

    Sri Sudharmalaya Buddhist Temple is a Buddhist temple situated in Galle Fort. The temple includes a large reclining Buddha and a mini stupa dating back to 1889. The temple has an unusual design including a belfry which may indicate the existence of a church some time back.
