The Soragune Devalaya is a Buddhist temple dedicated to Kataragama deviyo. It was constructed by a provincial ruler of the area, in 1582, who was seeking the blessing/protection of Kataragama, while he was away from the province. The temple was destroyed by the Dutch but was subsequently reconstructed. The temple was declared a protected archaeological site in July 2007.[7]

Only the foundations of the fort are still visible. The fort was declared a protected archaeological site in November 2002.[8]
