Ambuluwawa Tower
The Ambuluwawa Tower, located near the town of Gampola in Sri Lanka, is a unique and striking structure that forms part of the Ambuluwawa Biodiversity Complex. This multi-religious center and nature sanctuary is perched atop a hill, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes, including lush forests, mountains, and rivers.
The tower itself is a spiraling structure with a distinctive design, resembling a DNA strand, and is one of the key attractions of the complex. Visitors can climb the narrow spiral staircase to reach the top, where they are rewarded with a 360-degree view of the beautiful scenery. The ascent can be challenging due to the height and the open design of the staircase, but the experience is exhilarating..
The Ambuluwawa Biodiversity Complex is home to diverse plant species and promotes the coexistence of multiple religions, symbolized by various shrines representing Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. The site serves as a place of worship, meditation, and environmental education, attracting both locals and tourists who appreciate its spiritual significance and natural beauty.
