Polonnaruwa, one of Sri Lanka’s oldest cities, is a key site within the country’s Cultural Triangle. Following the fall of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa became Sri Lanka’s second capital, officially established by King Vijayabahu. In 1982, the city’s historic ruins were recognized and added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The archaeological sites in Polonnaruwa are closely situated, making it convenient to explore on foot. For travelers with limited time, a one-day tour from Kandy is an ideal way to experience the highlights of Polonnaruwa.
