Review:
The Dambulla Cave Temple, also known as the Golden Temple, is a monastery located, as the name suggests, in a cave. Inside the system of five caverns, visitors will find a collection of more than 150 pieces of historic Buddhist art, from statues to paintings, all inside a beautiful, colorful temple built from the rock of the caves. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was first used as a Buddhist temple more than 2,000 years ago, and the art in the caves expanded and grew over the centuries to become the beautiful piece of religious art that it is today.
