It is the first ancient capital of Sri Lanka with roots that go back to the 4th century BC. As the birthplace of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, it is one of the most revered cities in the land and Buddhism’s monument capital. The impressive collection of Anuradhapura temples, stupas, statues, and stoneworks has given the city UNESCO World Heritage Site status. There are also ruins of monasteries and palaces thousands of years old. It is not just an archaeological city but the heart of Sri Lanka’s civilization with a sophisticated network of reservoirs and waterways built for irrigation. Anuradhapura belongs to the Cultural Triangle of Sri Lanka and contains the most sacred tree in the world.
