History
Avissawella stands on the site of Seethawaka, capital of the 16th-century kingdom whose king Rajasinha I led the fiercest resistance against Portuguese rule. Ruins of the old royal citadel and the unfinished Berendi Kovil survive, and the town later grew as a rubber-planting and railway hub on the road to the hill country.
