Historical Places Should Visit

Anuradhapura Founded in 457 BC by the mighty King Pandukhabaya, Anuradhapura is the ancient capital city in Sri Lanka. In its day, it was celebrated throughout Asia for the excellence of its architecture and the sophistication and execution of its temple art, the ingenuity and skill of its irrigation engineers and its military importance. It was through the kings of Anuradhapura, too that Buddhism was brought to Sri Lanka, from the court of the great Murya Emperor of India, Ashoka.
Polonnaruwa Like Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa is another, if more recent, former capital of the country. Indeed, the history of Anuradhapura is much older and its ruins cover a greater expanse of land. Nevertheless, Polonnaruwa flourished more than a millennium ago. It is also better preserved than its near neighbour. Just north of the present day town, and 140 km north of Kandy, are the ruins of the ancient city.
Sigiriya Making the most of Sigiriya requires a good head for heights, as the last part of the way to the top of this 200m plug of rock, fortified in the late 5th century AD, is a scramble over a series of shallow steps with a sheer drop on one side! Around the monolithic crag are the ramparts of the lower citadel, enclosing a complex of ruined miniature summer palaces and royal swimming pools.
