Degaldoruwa Temple (30 Minutes)
The Degaldoruwa Temple was built in 1771 AD by King Rajadi Rajasinha and was initiated during the reign of his elder brother King Kirti Sri Rajasinha [1747-1782 AD].This is considered as a Cave Temple with Kandyan era Paintings and Architecture. The temple had been built at a place where two rocks were touching each other from above and below. A Cave had been made by breaking the rocks large enough to accomodate the Shrine Room of the Buddha and an area leading to the Shrine Room. The paintings at the temple were the work of four painters. These paintings are recognized as some of the best examples of the Kandyan era paintings.
