SRI LANKA: Streetart Matara – Cultural Graffiti and Urban Art in the southernmost city

Matara is the southernmost town in Sri Lanka and has a population of around 44,000. It is located on the Indian Ocean with rocky cliffs and beautiful sandy beaches, and the Nilwala River flows through the city and into Dondra Bay. The University of Ruhuna is located in the eastern area on a large campus with countless faculties and students. There is also a land connection of the SEA-ME-WE-5 submarine cable here, as evidenced by an interesting monument on the beach. Also worth seeing are the remains of the old fort and the Paravi Duwa temple with the former cable bridge. Throughout the town, you will find works of art on the walls depicting historical or religious scenes, as well as modern messages or abstract paintings.
