First i'll briefly describe about this city. Sri Lanka's first capital is situated in the dry zone,and
205 km north of the current capital colombo in Sri Lanka's North Central Province, It is one of Sri Lanka's premier ancient cities. This city is home to many of the earliest grandest monuments of Sri Lanka.
Anuradhapura has been made royal capital by the king Pandukabhaya in 380 BC. It remained residence and royal capital for 119 successive Singhalese kings till the year 1000 AD when it was abandoned and the capital moved to Polonnaruwa (Another ancient city in sri lanka). You will see some of the most famous as well as the tallest dagoba of Sri Lanka, remains from palaces, temples, monasteries, ceremonial baths and the temple of the holy Bo-tree. This tree was grown from a sapling of the very tree under which more than 2500 years ago the Buddha found enlightenment.
