Car Hire in Ragama

Besides Buddhist sites, there are many interesting Christian monuments that were built at the dawn of the colonial era of Sri Lanka. In the historic area, one can find St. Peters Church, whose construction was completed in 1700. The very first chapel on its site was built much earlier. At the end of the 17th century, one of the wealthy governors built a posh house on the site of the destroyed chapel. The building housing the church today used to hold solemn banquets and celebrations. Later it was converted into a church, the main parishioners of which were local fishermen and sailors. Now there is a small viewing platform on the second floor of the building.
Among the Hindu attractions, it is worth noting the temple complex Kathiresan Kovil. It consists of two temples whose facades feature a stunning design. They are almost completely covered with miniature fine sculptures, which together form a unique artistic canvas. The temples are remarkable for holding ceremonies and festivals, which are always open to the public.

The Dutch Period Museum with a very diverse exposition introduces Colombo's guests to the events of the colonial past. The colonization of the region by the Dutch began in 1658 and lasted until 1796.
