Kandy, Sri Lanka
2012 Kandy, Sri Lanka
Kandy's central highland setting and its status as the last capital of Sri Lanka's Sinhalese kings made it a natural stronghold, resisting European conquest for nearly three centuries after the coast fell to colonial powers. It finally passed to British control in 1815.
