A 2-hour focused tour of Parakramabahu's Royal Palace and its surrounding council architecture. This walk is for travellers who want to understand palace construction, layout, and political function rather than religious iconography. The guide explains how the 7-storey palace once stood by reading the surviving brick footprints and wall heights. You'll examine throne chambers, storerooms, and the geometry of the complex that once housed a 12th-century court. Best for history buffs interested in architecture over religious art. It takes 2 hours and is rated moderate.
