Additional Information

Another historic kingdom, another site recognized by UNESCO’s World Heritage. Polonnaruwa once served as the royal seat of Sri Lanka from the 11th to the 13th centuries AD. Today, it beckons you to explore its well-preserved remnants of royal residences, ponds, monastery complexes and Buddhist dagabas.

Plundered by South Indian forces during various dynastic periods, a significant portion of Polonnaruwa’s marvels present a unique blend of both nations, visible in its culture and architectural style. Its enduring splendor is credited to the reign of three kings: Vijayabahu I, Nissankamalla I, and Parakramabahu I, who is praised for his creation of the Parakrama Samudraya (Sea of Parakrama) – the shimmering focal point of Polonnaruwa that still provides water for irrigation in the area.
