Located in the heart of Nuwara Eliya, the Nuwara Eliya Post Office is one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic colonial landmarks. Built in 1894 during British rule, this charming Tudor-style red-brick building stands as a reminder of the town’s “Little England” heritage. Its steep gabled roof, white-framed windows, and clock tower give it a picturesque, storybook appearance.
Still functioning as an active post office, it allows visitors to send postcards and letters stamped from one of the country’s oldest postal buildings. Surrounded by manicured lawns and misty highland scenery, the site perfectly captures the nostalgic beauty of Sri Lanka’s colonial hill-station charm.
More than just a working post office, it is a living monument — preserving a piece of history amid the timeless tranquility of Nuwara Eliya.
