206 km from Colombo, it was the first capital of Sri Lanka and one of the best world heritage sites in Sri Lanka.

Anuradhapura established on the banks of river Mahaweli during the 4th century B.C by king Pandukabhaya.

This sacred city flourished for 1,300 years, until it was reduced into rubbles in an invasion in 993. The city, with its fascinating palaces, monasteries and monuments, lay hidden.

Anuradhapura is acclaimed as the greatest Theravada monastic city of the world and has served as the royal capital of 113 kings. The sacred Bo- tree, the ‘tree of enlightenment’-was brought in the 3rd century B.C. by Sanghamitta was planted in Anuradhapura.

Hidden away in dense jungle for many years, the splendid site, with its palaces, monasteries and monuments, was re-discovered in 19th century and is now accessible once again.
