Pope [[Leo XIII]] established the Papal Seminary for India, [[Myanmar|Burma]] and [[Sri Lanka|Ceylon]] in 1890. The task of finding a suitable place for it was entrusted to [[Ladislaus Michael Zaleski|Msgr. Ladislaus Zaleski]]. After travelling within India and Ceylon (now called Sri Lanka), he chose to locate the seminary in [[Ampitiya, Central Province|Ampitiya]], a settlement close to Kandy.
