A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it offers a blend of spiritual beauty, ancient art, and breathtaking views. Perched on a massive rock 160 meters above the surrounding plains, this sacred site has been a pilgrimage destination for over 2,000 years. 🕍 Inside the Cave Temples: There are five main caves, each filled with beautifully preserved Buddha statues, colorful murals, and intricate carvings that tell stories of Sri Lanka’s Buddhist heritage. Over 150 Buddha images can be found here, including a stunning 14-meter-long reclining Buddha carved from rock.
