Anuradhapura is a sprawling testament to an ancient civilisation that mastered hydraulic engineering and monumental architecture. As you explore its vast complex of soaring stupas and sacred bodhi trees, you feel a stillness that has endured for millennia. This was the island’s first capital, a place where the scale of the ruins reflects the grand vision of our early kings. It is an essential stop for those who wish to understand the spiritual and structural foundation of Sri Lankan culture.
