Anuradhapura

Visitors can get a look into the past by visiting Anuradhapura, one of the country's ancient capitals and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Anuradhapura is the capital of Sri Lanka. It is the capital of Sri Lanka's North Central Province and the Anuradhapura District. Anuradhapura is one of Sri Lanka's historic capitals, known for the well-preserved ruins of a Sinhala civilization. You are not simply exploring ruins in this location; there is a lively, modern community next to an ancient one. With its current population, it is one of the world's oldest continually inhabited places (starting in the 4th century, BCE).


There are numerous collapsing temples, statues, lakes, and other constructions among the ruins. There are some modern constructions, and the temple is still used for worship. The complex's heart is a really old tree. The Sri Maha Bodhi is thought to be the world's oldest human-planted live tree. Anuradhapura is a wonderful destination to visit because it has a lot of tiny guesthouses and inexpensive restaurants, as well as bike rental, tour guides, and other tourist-oriented companies.
