Avissawella
With such a poetic-sounding name, it is apt that modern Awissawella stands on the site of the mediaeval capital of the Sitawaka kingdom, which takes its name from a character of the epic poem, the Ramayana. An interior town, Avissawella has some interesting though limited archaeological ruins and makes for a great excursion from Colombo using the railway. So join our travel correspondent on her journey to the interior.
