Anuradhapura

Anuradhapura was established as a capital by the Wijeya dynasty and had continued as a royal capital throughout the reign of over 100 rulers. With the foreign invasions Anuradhapura lost its glimmer and faded into the creeping woods but the colonial rule once again discovered this ‘lost city’ and it stands today as a testimony to the architectural and aesthetical wonders of the ancestors of Sri Lanka.
