- Historic Home of the Tooth Relic: Before the Sacred Tooth Relic was moved to Kandy, it was housed in this palace during the Kurunegala Kingdom (13th-14th centuries). This site is a crucial stop in the relic’s long history.
- Remains of a Three-Story Palace: The ruins at the site are believed to be the remnants of the Dalada Palace, a three-story building constructed by King Parakramabahu IV. The presence of a stone gate suggests it was a grand structure, possibly built with a combination of stone and wood.
- Architectural Ruins: The site is a rich collection of ruins that showcase the grandeur of medieval Sri Lankan architecture. Visitors can see the remains of a palace complex, carved stone slabs with figures of lions, elephants, and other deities, as well as a large wooden boat believed to have been used by royalty.
- Inner City Walls: The ruins are located within what is believed to have been the inner city wall of the ancient Kurunegala Kingdom. This semi-circular wall, along with the palace complex, helps visitors visualize the layout of the ancient city.
- Historical Markers and Monuments: The site also contains a monument to a key figure of the 1848 rebellion, Dingirala, who was captured and executed there by the British. This adds a more recent layer of history to the ancient royal ruins.
