ID 276754023 © Thilakindikas | Megapixl.com

Yapahuwa, a natural hillock in the North-Western region, may be regarded as an archaeological heritage site. According to archaeological excavations done on the Eastern slope of the Yapahuwa hillock, it has been discovered that there had been human activity from pre-historic times (5000 years before the present). Stone caves with drip ledges and pre-Brahmi inscriptions of the third century BC confirm that Yapahuwa has functioned as a Buddhist religious center. Yapahuwa comes into prominence in Sri Lankan history
