马特莱市

马塔雷（Matale），通常写作Mathale，是位于岛屿中心的大型区域城市。它位于海拔364米（1,194英尺）的宽阔肥沃的山谷中。它是位于斯里兰卡中部省的马塔雷区的行政首府和最大城市。距离科伦坡142公里（88英里），并靠近康提。城市周围被纳克尔斯山脉环绕，山脉的山脚在英国统治时期被称为“威尔特郡”。

马塔雷是斯里兰卡山区的一个城市。纳克尔斯山脉是马塔雷的一个标志性地标。马塔雷区还包括历史悠久的锡吉里耶岩堡、阿鲁维哈雷寺庙和丹布拉洞寺。周围的纳克尔斯山脚（曾被称为威尔特郡）增强了该地区的自然美景。这里主要是一个农业区，茶叶、橡胶、蔬菜和香料种植是主要产业。

阿鲁维哈雷寺庙，位于城市北部，是最初将巴利经典完整写在橡树（棕榈）叶子上的历史遗址。阿鲁维哈雷附近有许多修道院洞窟，其中一些展现了精美的壁画。
