For nearly five centuries (1505–1948), Alagalla Mountain Range, along with the surrounding Bathalegala, also known as Bible Rock, Uthuwankanda, Devanagala, Ambuluwawa, Knuckles Mountain Range, and Hanthana Mountain Range, served as a natural defense location against Portuguese, Dutch, and English invasions aimed at the Kandyan Kingdom.
