As with many ancient sites in Sri Lanka, Yapuhwa was later used as a Buddhist monastery and its history and significance are entwined in a web of monarchistic and religious influences from different periods of Sri Lankan history. Indeed, Yapahuwa was also used to house the sacred tooth relic for a period – Sri Lanka’s most treasured Buddhist relic. There are a number of caves at the base of the rock with some interesting shrines, moats and ramparts.
