Colonial Buildings of Nuwara Eliya

Sri Lanka boasts a rich heritage that has also been influenced by its colonisers in the past, who found commercial interests in the country in its natural resources such as tea, rubber, and spices. Nuwara Eliya had a special appeal to these colonisers as well due to its cold climes that reminded them of their homes. Consequently, red-bricked buildings, fairy-tale cottages, and rose gardens were built up in the past and are now a common sight in this picturesque city. Below is a list of colonial buildings that one can explore while enjoying one of the best Nuwara Eliya hotel offers at a property such as Stafford Bungalow.
