Review:
The rulers of the Sinhalese monarchy called this palace complex their home until 1815, when the last ruler, King Sri Vikrama Rajasinh, was cast out by the British. But the Royal Palace Kandy remains, and with it stand some of the other parts of the complex, including the King’s Palace, the Queen’s Palace, and the Temple of the Tooth. Many of these buildings are now museums of Buddhist history and national culture, and the palace is located in a large park that used to be part of the royal complex. There, visitors will find many peaceful and beautiful walking trails with lovely views of the city of Kandy and Bogambara Lake.
