A landmark of the city, the clock tower was built near to the Ismail Building in 1950 by Haji Mohamed Ismail as a monument and in memory of his son Mohamed Zacky Ismail, who lost his life in an accident in Kadugannawa in August, 1947. It was designed by Shirley de Alwis, one of Sri Lanka's leading architects at the time. De Alwis was the local resident architect working with Sir Patrick Abercrombie on design of the University of Peradeniya campus. #mattravel #srilanka #nationalpark #UNESCO #worldheritage #sinhalafestival
