Stone ruins telling Sri Lanka’s story Where Buddhisum’s timeless legacy lives

The Ancient Kingdoms

Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa represent the ancient heart of Sri Lanka’s civilization. Both are UNESCO World Heritage Sites showcasing the island’s earliest kingdoms, engineering brilliance, and spiritual heritage.

Anuradhapura is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, home to sacred stupas, vast monasteries, royal pools, and the revered Sri Maha Bodhi – the oldest recorded tree with a continuous human guardianship.

Polonnaruwa, the medieval capital, offers beautifully preserved ruins including palaces, temples, statues, and the iconic Gal Vihara stone Buddhas.

Together, these cities provide a deep dive into Sri Lanka’s ancient history, architecture, and religious culture.
