Kandy is regarded as one of the world's most beautiful cities. The cultural and administrative center of Sri Lanka. Vimaladarma Surya built the capital in 1592, and it served as the seat of government for the marine regions during Dutch and Portuguese occupations until British rule in 1815. The Kandy valley, surrounded by difficult hills, served as the Sinhalese's last refuge until Sri Wickrama Rajasinghe, .you can see this places in kandy.
Buddha's sacred tooth relic was brought to the island from India and has remained in the possession of royalty.
