For more than a thousand years, Sri Lanka`s capital was Anuradhapura, one of the oldest towns in the world that has been continually inhabited. It has roots in the 4th century BCE and was a bustling center of culture, spirituality, and government.
Anuradhapura is a holy site for Buddhists and the location of the famous Sri Maha Bodhi tree, the planet`s oldest known tree and a major destination for pilgrimages. The city`s extensive dagobas, stupas, and monasteries serve as evidence of its rich spiritual heritage.
