Sri Sudharmalaya Buddhist Temple

The Sri Sudharmalaya Buddhist Temple sits on Rampart Street within the walls of the Galle Fort. You can identify it by its white-painted exterior and a distinct belfry atop the prayer hall, which gives the structure the appearance of a colonial-era church. While the fort has long been home to mosques and churches, this temple stands out as the only historic Buddhist place of worship built within these defensive walls.
