Located north of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, Anuradhapura founded in 500 BC—was the island’s first and longest-serving capital. Once a thriving Buddhist and commercial metropolis, it was abandoned in the 10th century AD and reclaimed by the jungle until its rediscovery in 1817. The city flourished under three great monasteries and grew around monumental dagobas built in memory of the Buddha. Today, these vast brick stupas continue to attract Buddhist devotees from around the world. Among the most significant are Thuparama, the island’s earliest dagoba; the immaculate and revered Ruvanveliseya; and the colossal Jetavanarama and Abhayagiriya.

Anuradhapura also guards the sacred Bo Tree, grown from a cutting of the tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment, and houses remarkable sites such as the Samadhi Buddha statue, Ran Masu Uyana, the Mahasena Palace moonstone, and Isurumuniya Temple.

Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1982, Sigiriya is often described as an eagle’s nest an impregnable fortress built atop a single massive rock.
