The legacy form the Portuguese is the tiled-roof building with its verandah, the Catholic churches as well as the forts. <br /><br />Under the Dutch rule, the Portuguese forts were changed into Dutch style; the historic fort in Galle is excellent one of the Dutch legacy. The British followed the tradition by changing also the Dutch forts into their clerical and secular architectural styles. The building in the hill stations such as Nuwara Eliya is one of the dominant British legacies.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTie1heDjva47lm5vYQ74628rvme8SgrqnEVhxnlVjpMWA7PQJD14FP7tlrX10Au2c4exQLGoVX-wt4VMAKRSdiS2EXXUvxjU8-MGjbY8Kyj5Ciy1kvhNjA1tySdw8u1yRzkuXD1sajLVP/s1600/European+architecture2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTie1heDjva47lm5vYQ74628rvme8SgrqnEVhxnlVjpMWA7PQJD14FP7tlrX10Au2c4exQLGoVX-wt4VMAKRSdiS2EXXUvxjU8-MGjbY8Kyj5Ciy1kvhNjA1tySdw8u1yRzkuXD1sajLVP/s1600/European+architecture2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivhnq54HyxFQC6dtPQbwUraBGyfBaIEB6Ld0B5TE6w63L2TuiULMEDCikUxpCgKy2IqMvf2GLoNinUkSNShOZSZOepHtkFDuILXDkdxyNM-RW3GKTWY9gr7foboXk411zbCFRUIcylmAMt/s1600/European+architecture3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivhnq54HyxFQC6dtPQbwUraBGyfBaIEB6Ld0B5TE6w63L2TuiULMEDCikUxpCgKy2IqMvf2GLoNinUkSNShOZSZOepHtkFDuILXDkdxyNM-RW3GKTWY9gr7foboXk411zbCFRUIcylmAMt/s1600/European+architecture3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisbqBmk7IeItClVGrsaGHSvalgsENOXIhVb_n-kJdAYhWywPhjGeZrIos82RzgeFe6ERuXXyup63Yrjfg3v6mOtCh4oNxWiTTVU6_zWpIBRQTsupdAe5GI5OzqeNHdmkstAAiOaIqPctd2/s1600/European+architecture4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisbqBmk7IeItClVGrsaGHSvalgsENOXIhVb_n-kJdAYhWywPhjGeZrIos82RzgeFe6ERuXXyup63Yrjfg3v6mOtCh4oNxWiTTVU6_zWpIBRQTsupdAe5GI5OzqeNHdmkstAAiOaIqPctd2/s1600/European+architecture4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

In a shape of dome, often painted in white, the dagoba enshrines the Buddha's relics such as hair and tooth; it is usually constructed with bricks which are covered with plaster. This form of structure is firstly introduced into Sri Lanka at the same period of Buddhism's introduction into the island. <br /><br />The tradition of building the stupas to enshrine the Buddha's relics originated during the reign of Emperor Asoka of India who sent Buddhist missionary, Mahinda, his son to Sri Lanka; it then spread out, there emerged numerous dagobas on the island. The early simple shape of the dagoba developed to six significant shapes that can be seen nowadays: bubble shape, bell shape, pot shape, the heap of paddy shape, and amalaka shape. <br /><br />The vatadage is also predominant architectural heritage of Buddhism in Sri Lanka; it is a circular relic house enclosing a small dagoba with wooden roof and Buddha images on the four cardinal directions. Traces of this structure can be seen in Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa today, but the wooden parts disappeared long ago.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzWcjSNtLfNe0bM1OltZlQ1arIb4jucwVhHHcnrH_1ri0Jk8I3XBswRn0AH8U45NOOHUtMeqQ79FtCgBDHBw9XjhhUDqqZlE5GRzEEV-TT7U8W7CXoFvitKthoT1TBjntfoM0gp540oesI/s1600/Buddhist+architecture2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzWcjSNtLfNe0bM1OltZlQ1arIb4jucwVhHHcnrH_1ri0Jk8I3XBswRn0AH8U45NOOHUtMeqQ79FtCgBDHBw9XjhhUDqqZlE5GRzEEV-TT7U8W7CXoFvitKthoT1TBjntfoM0gp540oesI/s1600/Buddhist+architecture2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDjxEfa6-UtBrz7tBuhYxcqq-fpX0jHYf9gOsb2CkQD0Di6BfMRTnLD8DkIfS1ImI16y3jLIdyONIFdVD3irnFuLcxEHM5FsE4uUwzQMZU9mGWeKIb7QbCH4ZKnpFL-oal4ywPg9iG8oi/s1600/Buddhist+architecture3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKDjxEfa6-UtBrz7tBuhYxcqq-fpX0jHYf9gOsb2CkQD0Di6BfMRTnLD8DkIfS1ImI16y3jLIdyONIFdVD3irnFuLcxEHM5FsE4uUwzQMZU9mGWeKIb7QbCH4ZKnpFL-oal4ywPg9iG8oi/s1600/Buddhist+architecture3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

For sculpture, most of works are dominated by the Buddha images. In early times, the statues of Buddha were often carved from the living rock of limestone cliffs. <br /><br />Over the centuries, other kind of materials have also been adopted for sculpting the statutes of Buddha such as jade, rock, crystal, marble, emerald, ivory, coral, wood, and metal. The Buddha is represented in three main poses: standing, meditating, and reclining. The ornamental sculptures on the staircases of Buddhist shrines and palaces reveal exquisite skill of Sri Lankan sculptors and also symbolize religious belief among the Sinhalese Buddhists. <br /><br />Similar to sculptures, Sri Lankan painting closely attaches to Buddhist belief. Themes in Sri Lankan painting are all related to Buddha: Buddha's life and tales of former lives of the Buddha, for example. The excellent painting works can be seen on walls in several Buddhist monasteries and shrines. <br /><br />There are two different styles of painting in Sri Lanka: classical style and Kandyan style.
