The Galmaduwa Temple is a temple with a strange architecture situated in Kalapura village, just a short turn of Kundasala Road. This 125 years old temple was built by King Keerthi Sri Rajasingha using piyo rocks. It is the use of stones and bricks which gives the name to this temple. The Kalapura village is also popular for brassware. The king has not completed the building of this temple and has shifted his attention towards Degaldoruwa. The building was not used as a temple and has a hint of Hindu influence although it is a Buddhist place of worship.
