Anuradhapura, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It served as Sri Lanka’s first capital and is home to sacred stupas, including the massive Ruwanwelisaya and the revered Sri Maha Bodhi, a sacred fig tree grown from a cutting of the original Bodhi tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment. This ancient city reflects the grandeur of Sri Lanka’s early civilisation.
