Nuwara Eliya was founded in the 19th century as a hill station escape from Colombo's heat, named 'the city of light' by its British governor. Its architecture retains a distinctly English character, with red-brick Tudorbethan villas and a golf course that echoes the Home Counties. The town's heart was shaped by the tea boom, which still defines its economy and landscape of rolling green estates. Today, it remains Sri Lanka's premier cool-weather retreat, known for its colonial-style hotels and vibrant market gardens.
