The Sri Sudharmalaya Temple is a Buddhist temple located within the Galle Fort, one of Sri Lanka’s five UNESCO world heritage sites. It sits at the heart of the fort’s main western street (called Rampart Street) with a statue of a sitting Buddha outside the small white-painted temple faces the sea over the bastion. The Temple contains a prayer hall, a mini stupa that dates as far back as 1889, a large statue of a reclining Lord Buddha as well as several smaller statues. Buddhist monks currently live and serve at the Temple.
