Anuradhapura is an ancient city with palaces, castles, temples and sky-high dagabos and statues. Being the home to Jaya Sri Maha bodhiya- a twig from the very Bho tree Lord Buddha attained his enlightenment under, the city is a sacred place for all the Buddhists around the world.
The well-preserved ruins of gigantic statues and temple complexes will leave you speechless while you will be mind blown by the technology used and the stories involved with each historical place you visit in the area. The city is also an ideal place to take a peek into the rural farming life in Sri Lanka which will unfold another facet of the island.
