You'll find the Brief Garden three kilometres inland from Aluthgama. A barely controlled riot of a garden out of The Jungle Book, the grounds are a lovely place to get lost. The house, which used to be the home of Bevis Bawa, brother of renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa, has an eclectic range of artwork on display - from homoerotic sculpture to a wonderful mural of Sri Lankan life in the style of Marc Chagall
St. Lucia's Cathedral is located at Kotahena, in the northeast of Colombo, on 18,240 sq. ft. of land, and is dedicated to Saint Lucy. It origins from a small structure for worship built during the Dutch occupation. The interior of the cathedral consists of a row of ornate, larger than life statues of saints along the side aisles, sculptured and painted in minute detail; many of these statues were installed in 1924. Open confessionals of intricately carved dark wood are also placed along the aisles. On the left, in front of the sanctuary is a unique dark-skinned statue of the Madonna called "Our Lady of Kotahena", which is taken in procession during the annual celebrations. Altars of white marble are located in the transepts of the church with relics enshrined within them
