Tissa (Tissamaharama) once the capital of the Sinhalese Kingdom of Ruhuna during the 3rd century B.C. Few buildings from that period remain today.
The large Tissa Wewa "lake", which was a part of a sophisticated irrigation system, dates from that time. There are a few stupas sites to be visited and another four lakes around Tissamaharama: Yoda Wewa; Weerawila Wewa; Pannegamuwa Wewa; and Debarawewa Wewa.
Tissa town mainly serves as a starting point for visits to Yala National Park and Kataragama.
