Polonnaruwa

Polonnaruwa, the second capital of ancient Sri Lanka, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its stunning archaeological sites, including towering stupas, ancient temples, and royal palaces. This city, which flourished from the 11th to 13th centuries, was once the seat of the Chola dynasty and later the Sinhala kings. Among the most famous sites are the Gal Vihara rock temple with its incredible Buddha statues carved into the rock, the Lankatilaka Temple with its striking architecture, and the remains of the Royal Palace. The Parakrama Samudra, a vast reservoir built by King Parakramabahu, adds to the beauty of the city and is an ideal spot for boat rides and nature walks.
