THE HERITAGE COLLECTION
Destinations
Eight historic places in Sri Lanka, with a factual summary and a link to an official heritage source. New places can be added from the editor and published when they are ready.
Six of these places are UNESCO World Heritage properties. Yapahuwa and Mihintale are not separately UNESCO-listed. The final route still depends on your days and your interests.
