Good to have something of the kotte kingdom

Memories ❤️ History

I think everyone in the area must visit this place.

Not crowded at all. Good place to study old Sri lankan flags and guns. There is a small archaeology library and book shop.

This small museum, located in an old house, isn't well known and neither is the Kingdom of Kotte. Most of the palace and other structures were destroyed by the Portuguese... read more but Colombo's ever expanding development has seen further destruction of what was left and even encroachment on the ruins. I couldn't get good photos of the artefacts on display but the posters give a lot of useful information about the Kingdom of Kotte.

Very plain exhibition, but still worth visiting. Not allowed to take pictures. As I am a foreigner any guidance wasn't given, but I had to write my name in a... read more book for visitors. Good thing it's free of charge

කෝට්ටේ රාජධානිය සම්බන්ධව ගොඩක් දේවල් නොමිලේම දැනගත්තා. ටිකට් එකක් වත් ගන්න අවශ්‍ය නැහැ. පොඩි දරුවන්ට ගොඩාක් වැදගත්.

I first visited this museum when I was just a little brat in primary school, and even now, it remains one of the most underrated places in Kotte. If you... read more live nearby, this is a hidden gem worth exploring. The museum holds a wealth of history about Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, showcasing artifacts and stories from its proud past as the ancient capital of the kingdom. Unfortunately, it doesn’t get the attention it deserves. The government should step in to preserve and promote this site before it fades into neglect. At the moment, entry is free, making it an excellent spot for anyone interested in history, archaeology, or just learning more about Kotte’s rich heritage.

Few artefacts are available. If you like history it would be fun. No photos allowed unless you have prior approval. Entrance free.

Sacred Kotte kingdom

Nice place
