It is the place where the Kings of Kandy held their court. It was built in 1783 by Sri Rajadhi Rajasinha of Kandy. The carvings of the wooden pillars supporting the wooden roof reflect the wood carving of the Kandyan period. The Kandyan Convention was drawn up and read out to the people in the Audience Hall, and it was also the venue of the conference that was held in 1815. At present, it is used for state ceremonies and protected under the department of archeology. |
