历史

Ratnapura, whose name means 'city of gems', has been a centre of gem mining and trading since antiquity, with stones from its valleys traded along ancient Indian Ocean routes. The town's museums and gemmological displays grew up around this centuries-old industry, which still dominates local life today.
