Full Details
Anuradhapura, the first ancient capital of Sri Lanka, is a UNESCO World Heritage City that showcases the island’s rich cultural and spiritual legacy. Located about 205 km from Colombo, this sacred city is dotted with age-old monasteries, colossal dagobas, intricate stone carvings, and the revered Sri Maha Bodhi tree – believed to be the oldest documented tree in the world. A walk through Anuradhapura is like stepping back in time to an era where Buddhism thrived, kings ruled magnificently, and architecture reached new heights.
Visitors can marvel at the Ruwanwelisaya Stupa, Jetavanaramaya, Abhayagiriya, and the intricate moonstones that symbolize artistic brilliance. Alongside religious and cultural landmarks, the ancient reservoirs (tanks) like Tissa Wewa and Nuwara Wewa add a unique charm to the city.
