Overview
Anuradhapura is one of Sri Lanka’s most sacred and historic cities. As the island’s first capital, it served as a center of power, faith, and innovation for over a thousand years.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to colossal dagobas, ancient monasteries, and the revered Sri Maha Bodhi—a tree grown from a cutting of the original Bodhi tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment.
Wander among stone carvings, sacred ponds, and massive stupas like Ruwanwelisaya and Jetavanaramaya. The spiritual energy and archaeological marvels of Anuradhapura offer a journey deep into Sri Lanka’s Buddhist heritage.
