Very beautiful and relaxing place to be, carrying thousands of years of sacred history of the Ceylon.
Beautiful architecture, open, huge and silent place.
Best time is the evening time to visit, when the sun is low, cool winds are flowing.
You can find a lot of ancient remains of the beautiful civilisation they had there thousands of years before.
Very good place to visit.
