Parmi les sites importants de la province du Sud figurent les sanctuaires fauniques des parcs nationaux de Yala et d'Udawalawe, la ville sainte de Kataragama et les anciennes cités de Tissamaharama, Kirinda et Galle. (Bien que Galle soit une ville ancienne, il ne reste presque rien d'avant l'invasion portugaise.) Durant la période portugaise, deux célèbres poètes cinghalais, Andare, originaire de Dickwella, et Gajaman Nona, originaire de Denipitiya dans le district de Matara, composaient des poèmes sur le peuple.
