The island of Sri Lanka is diverse with magnificent ancient cities, Buddhist caves, colonial enclaves and contemporary tropical architecture. Join Joyce Morgan in this lecture and explore Sri Lanka’s cultural riches and natural beauty from coastal charm and misty mountains to abundant wildlife. Ancient traders once visited for the island’s fragrant cinnamon, others built temples and sacred sites. The result is a unique and vibrant island which has enchanted travellers for millennia.
