Climbing Dawson Tower

Dawson tower was built by the British in remembrance of Captain Dawson. He was a brilliant civil engineer who was put in charge of building the Colombo-Kandy highway. He began his work in 1820 under the most difficult conditions. The project was plagued by disease, difficult terrain and mishaps. Cpt. Dawson passed away in 1829 and this tower was built to remember him and his services.



The tower is made out of, mainly, bricks. The walls are very thick because of that. There are no windows therefore the air inside is frigid. The views are amazing and on a clear day they say you can see Colombo city from up there.
