Anuradhapura
Anuradhapura is a must-see tourist attraction because it is one of the most significant cities in Sri Lanka’s history, dating from the mid-5th century BC to the 11th century AD. Anuradhapura is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with restored monuments, refurbished structures, well-maintained historical sites and ruins, and ongoing archaeological excavations. This ancient city is encompassed by three artificial lakes, namely the Tissa Wewa reservoir & the Basawakkulama Wewa to the west, the Nuwara Wewa reservoir to the east and two directions of Anuradhapura defined by the River Malwatu Oya that also flows through the city. The following travel guide will tell you all you need to know when visiting Anuradhapura.
01. Ruwanwelisaya Stupa
The Ruwanwelisaya Stupa, also known as the Great Stupa, is a massive white dome built by King Dutugemunu 100 years before the Jetavanarama Stupa. The dome, which represents the Buddha’s head or heaven, is supported by an arrangement of Elephants, in accordance with a popular Buddhist belief that these mighty animals support the world. With a circumference of 290 metres and a height of nearly 91.4 metres, the luminous white shrine is the second highest stupa in Anuradhapura.
02.Wilpattu National Park
The largest park is Wilpattu National Park, which is located on Sri Lanka’s northwest coast. The presence of “Willus,” or natural lakes with varying degrees of salinity, distinguishes this park. The park was closed for 15 years to allow the wildlife to recover to its former abundance, and it reopened in 2003. Now that it has reopened, you should go explore it because it is one of the best places to visit in Anuradhapura. A squared section atop the Dome represents four honoured truths and eight rings of the virtuous eight-fold path, both of which are Buddhist tradition benchmarks.
03.Thanthirimale
The old village of Thanthirimale or Tantirimale, one of the best places to visit in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, is sought after by tourists, particularly Buddhists who want to explore the ancient Buddhist temples. Its proximity to the rocks makes it a popular tourist destination. Aside from the old village, Thanthirimale Stupa and Sri Maha Bodhi plant to Bo Tree et al are excellent places to visit as both a tourist and a Buddhist. So, why not try one of Anuradhapura’s most unusual places to visit?
04.Abhayagiri Vihara
The Abhayagiri Vihara Monastery, located on the north side of Anuradhapura, was built by King Vattagamini in 88 BC and had the capacity to house over 5,000 monks at one time, making it the largest for nearly 600 years. The 500-acre monastery houses Buddha figurines, a magnificent moonstone, a stupa, and the twin ponds or the Kuttam Pokuna, which have an impressive plumbing layout. The Anuradhapura residents were skilled engineers, as evidenced by the placement of their elaborate irrigation systems. The subversive conduits used to clean, fill, and then empty the water tools distinguish the twin ponds or bathing pools.
The pools could be accessed via the granite stairs, or the monks could simply sit by the edges and bathe using vessels without entering the pools. The pools aren’t exactly identical, with one measuring 6,732 square feet and the other 4,641 square feet, both surrounded by guarded walls and gardens. While visitors are not permitted to swim in the pools, the visual appeal of this location is undeniably appealing.
05.moonstone
The moonstone, also known as Sandakada Pahana, is a unique architectural section of Sri Lanka that was developed during the last few years of the Anuradhapura Reign. It is a semi-arched etched slab of stone that is traditionally placed at the entrance of the Buddhist temple. The moonstone, which dates back to the first century, depicts a lotus flower leaf in the centre, surrounded by a row of animals, each representing a different stage of life.
While elephants represent the birth stage, bulls represent old age, lions represent disease stages, and horses represent the end. The swans represent the combined forces of good and evil, making the Moonstone a symbol of rising above materialistic temptations and achieving Moksha, as represented by the Lotus. Throughout the Polonnaruwa period, the moonstones evolved not only in terms of design but also in terms of placement, at the entrance as well as at the base of other Buddhist Temple constructions.
06.Isurumuniya Temple
The Isurumuniya Temple, a cloistral centre carved out of solid rock, housed 500 Buddhist monks or children from noble families willing to devote themselves to Buddhist teachings and the pursuit of enlightenment, living differently than Anuradhapura Society norms. There are several shrines, stupa, pillars, figurines, and Elephant carvings all over the temple complex, which is surrounded by bright murals depicting Lord Buddha’s life and the stories surrounding it from Anuradhapura’s ancient days.
Within the monastery grounds, there is also a museum with etched fragments of stones that once adorned the Isurumuniya compound, including carved paintings of the royal family from the 6th and 7th centuries BC and stone benches. Climbing the stairs, visitors can enjoy a beautiful view of the entire complex from atop the high boulder.
07.Thuparamaya Dagoba
The Thuparamaya Dagoba, one of the country’s oldest stupas that houses Lord Buddha’s collarbone relic, has seen constructions, destructions, and restorations over the centuries, and the remnants seen today are actually a restoration from 1862, with some original pillars still standing tall around the main structure. The Thuparamaya Dagoba was built in the 4th century by King Devanampiyatissa to house the collarbone artefact, and the structural ruins as such include stone carvings, temple remnants,a gorgeous moonstone, and pillar bases.
08.Mihintale
Mihintale is a Buddhist pilgrimage site and religious complex located 13 kilometres east of Anuradhapura. It is believed that King Devanampiyatissa converted to Buddhism at the request of Mahinda, the son of an Indian emperor. Mahinda’s mountain, or Mihintale, eventually became the foundation of Sinhalese culture and Buddhism. Mihintale was once just a collection of stupas, monasteries, and cave homes for monks, the remnants of which can still be seen today.
09.Gala Palama
The Gala Palama, or stone bridge, is located 3.4 kilometres from Sangamitta Mawatha and crosses the Mawathu Oya. It stands amidst ruins of stone slabs laid across the line of three stone pillars dating from the 5th to the 9th centuries. Other stone bridges in Anuradhapura include the one over Halpan Ela and the one near Mahakanadarawa Reservoir, Mihintale.
10.Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi
Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi is one of Sri Lanka’s oldest trees, still thriving in the Mahamewna Gardens of Anuradhapura. This unique tree is said to have grown from a cutting brought here from India’s Bodh Gaya. It is thought to have been brought from the same location where Gautama Buddha attained enlightenment, making it one of the most popular places to visit in Anuradhapura for pilgrims and spiritual souls. It was looked after by Sri Lanka’s ancient kings and queens, as well as many Buddhist leaders. This tree is said to have such tranquil beauty that it instils a sense of calm and peace, thriving even in the harshest of conditions.

Anuradhapura
Anuradhapura is an ancient Sri Lankan capital known for its rich history, cultural significance, and stunning landmarks. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Anuradhapura is one of the most significant cities on the island. Not only is it an archaeological treasure trove but also a living, breathing city that seamlessly merges its ancient past with the present day. A visit to this amazing city is an experience every traveler to Sri Lanka should have.
History of Anuradhapura
Anuradhapura was founded as a city in the 4th century BC by King Pandukabhaya, who unified the country and established Anuradhapura as the capital. This ancient city is actually the first capital of ancient Sri Lanka. For centuries, Anuradhapura was a political, cultural, and economic hub. It was considered a significant city in ancient South Asia. During this time, Anuradhapura saw the construction of many impressive landmarks, including stupas, temples, and palaces.
One of the most significant periods in Anuradhapura's history was the reign of King Devanampiya Tissa, who is credited with establishing Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Under his rule, the Sri Maha Bodhi tree was planted in Anuradhapura. It has become one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the Buddhist world. The city's development as a Buddhist center continued under King Dutugemunu, who built several impressive stupas, including the magnificent Ruwanweliseya Stupa.
Another notable period in Anuradhapura's history was during the reign of King Mahasena, who commissioned the construction of the Jetavanaramaya stupa, one of the tallest structures in the ancient world. The stupa is a marvel of engineering. Its construction is a testament to the skill and expertise of ancient Sri Lankan architects and engineers. The city eventually declined after a series of invasions, but its historical and cultural significance has never faded.
Landmarks and Monuments in Anuradhapura
Anuradhapura is home to many impressive landmarks and monuments, each with its unique history and cultural significance. Some of the most notable landmarks in Anuradhapura include the Sri Maha Bodhi tree, which is the oldest known living tree in the world, and the Ruwanweliseya, Jetavanaramaya, and Abhayagiriya stupas, all 3 of which are among the most significant religious destinations on the island.
Some other landmarks include the Samadhi Buddha statue, a remarkable sculpture of Lord Buddha, and the Isurumuniya temple, known for its beautiful and intricate carvings. For more details on these landmarks, read our article on the top 10 things to do in Anuradhapura.

Traditional dance and music also form an integral part of the city's cultural heritage.

Ceylon Tourist Board Holiday Resort
🕗 opening times, comments 5.
Chivantha GalAnga
This resort is maintained and run by the Sri Lanka tourist board. It’s located 2-3 km from the Anuradhapura pooja nagaraya. First of all this not a star hotel. I give 5stars because it’s worth the money you spend here. There are A/C and non A/C rooms. Rooms are somewhat old, but they are clean and maintained properly. A Triple room is around Rs. 4000 with buffet dinner and breakfast. Vegetarian buffet only. If you wish to stay in and average place for a decent sum of money with food supplied, this is the place for you. If you are looking for a trendy, cozy place this is not the place for you. Overall staff is pretty friendly. Worth the money you pay. I have the photos of the dining area only.
Alicia Garcia-Waas
A decent place to stay. Offer A/C or non A/C. Rooms are clean and each come with 4 beds. Good place to come if you are on a budget and have mutiple people in your party.
Anoja Ganhewa
Reasonable staying. But not good when compared with other TB locations. But staff was very good.
Yasas Attanayake
Affordable rest house to grab bookings..just minutes away from the town..safe place for your kids as well..good staff...offer a we come drink and good service...best place to take a rest if you are a traveller to anuradhapura area...food buffet on prior request..haven't ordered food therfore no idea about the food
Sachith Weerasekara
One of the best affordable places to stay while visiting Anuradhapura with a family. Food was delicious. Staff was friendly. Rooms were nice and clean. Calm and quiet environment. If you like monkeys you will be able to see lots of them in the trees around the premises.
