Considered to be one of the most significant monuments in Sri Lanka, the Independence Memorial Hall commemorates the island’s independence from the British Empire in 1948. Today, it stands as a reminder of the unity and ingenuity of the Sri Lankan people. Moreover, the complex has also become a popular place for recreational activity. During your stay at Taru Villas - Lake Lodge, visit the memorial hall and the museum located just below the structure that was built to honour the heroes that fought for independence.
