Ambalamas were built in Sri Lanka from ancient times. Geiger said that the words ‘mahavata vatussala’ found in the marble slab inscription of King Mahasen (274-301AD) meant a resting place along a major street.

Deevilla Ambalama stands on 18  massive cement pillars and is a comparatively large ambalama located at the Deevilla Junction. Out of the 18 pillars, 4 pillars hold the centre part of the roof while other others lie surrounding the building. According to a plaque in front of the building, this was built by the “Aparadamardhana Grama Sanvardhana Samithiya” in 1948.

Deevilla lies on the Dodangaslanda – Matale Road 15 km from Matale town.
