This is the site of Sri Lanka's independence ceremony on February 4, 1948, to commemorate Sri Lanka's independence from British colonial rule. The memorial hall is surrounded by no walls, airy and bright, suitable for the tropical climate of South Asia.

The church is beautiful and worth a visit. I visit this church every Christmas Eve, a habit that has been in a row for ten years. At midnight mass, people were in high spirits and the Royal Army Band was very shocking to see it playing on the spot. This place is worth a visit, my good friend lives around the corner near the church, and can see the church clearly from his window.

The small clock tower in the east of the ancient castle area. I saw it when I was hanging out in the ancient castle area. It was more conspicuous and not too distinctive. It was just close to the sunset at that time. It was very good-looking. It is recommended to pass by and see it. It is not recommended to come and visit, the attractions are really average.

The church was impressive, and the ground was covered with beautifully carved tablets. It is conceivable that on the ground, it should be the coffins of some important people. The church is located on the main road, so it seems special.
