Pictured here are three ambalamas (travellers resting places)in in Meerigama, Rendapola and Botale.They were of high archaeological and cultural value. History recrods that the giant called Bulatha who constructed Sorabora Wewa in Mahiyangana had built 13 such ambalamas and the remnants of those could be seen today. In the later years these ambalamas were occupied by vagrants and now they are so dilapidated that even the beggars have abandoned them.Residents urge authorities to repair them and make good use of the buildings
