Discover Lankathilaka Temple Everything you need to know before you go

The magnificent Lankathilaka Temple is situated in the kandy district, close to Gampola. It has been built on top of a large uneven rock with a history dating back to the 14th century. Inscriptions in both Sinhala and Tamil languages are found cut into the rock covering a large area of the temple, describing the king’s land gift and facilities provided to the Temple. Seeing the architecture surrounding and within the temple is a golden opportunity for budding architects. The historical value cannot be measured.
