Big
battle to save Kotte's ruins
Kotte,
known as Sri Jayewardenepura, was the seventh capital city
of ancient Sri Lanka. Used as a capital for 150 - 200 years,
it was the seat of the last king who ruled the entire country.
Although this period was referred to as the Golden Era on
account of its highly developed socio-economic and cultural
standards, there is unfortunately very little visible remnants
of its architectural heritage. Now the Archaeological Department
together with the Urban Development Authority is making attempts
to preserve the little that is left..........
