About Heritance Kandalama

Heritance Kandalama, built along a cliff above the Kandalama reservoir near Dambulla, is one of Geoffrey Bawa’s most famous late works: a long building that the jungle has slowly covered, with views across the water to Sigiriya. Monkeys are frequent visitors, so keep windows closed.
