O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: Eretto con 12 milioni di mattoni, questo palazzo era un tempo la residenza reale più imponente del sud-est asiatico. La struttura originale si innalzava per sette piani, anche se oggi rimangono solo i primi tre livelli di mura maestose.
Istaknuto: Camminare tra queste mura significa entrare in un sito che nel XII secolo conteneva oltre mille stanze. Le pareti ancora conservano tracce di intonaco colorato e fori per le travi di legno, dettagli che raccontano l'incredibile ingegneria dei costruttori singalesi.
Insajderski savjeti
- Wear closed-toe, lightweight shoes; the ground among the ruins is uneven and you can easily trip.
- Climb up to the panoramic viewpoint behind the palace for an overview that reveals the original layout.
- Arrive at the park opening at 7:00 AM; the first two hours are magical without tourists.
- Bring a portable fan, the air between the thick walls becomes suffocating in the middle of the day.
