• Sigiriya - Sigiriya, located in the heart of Sri Lanka, is a stunning example of ancient innovation and architectural brilliance. Topped by a magnificent fortress on a towering rock plateau, it serves as an iconic emblem of the island’s rich history and cultural legacy. Dating back over 1,500 years, the site features breathtaking frescoes, intricate water gardens, and the remnants of a once-thriving palace complex. Sigiriya continues to captivate visitors from around the world, who come to admire its timeless beauty and historical importance.
• Isurumuniya Temple - Isurumuniya Temple, constructed by King Devanampiyatissa, is situated near the Royal Pleasure Gardens beside the Tisaweva (Tissa rainwater reservoir). The temple, partially built into a cave with a charming pool at the front and a boulder forming the rear wall, is a treasure trove of exquisitely carved stone sculptures.

The rock face bordering the rear of the pond is adorned with a couple of exquisite rock carvings. One depicts a herd of elephants, capturing their playful antics in the pond and the majesty of the herd’s leader. The other carving features a noble horseman and his horse.

Additionally, the temple houses a renowned sculpture on a granite slab called ‘Isurumuniya lovers,’ now relocated to the Isurumuni Archaeological Museum. The lovers are identified as King Dutugamunu’s son Saliya and his non-royal consort Asokamala, celebrated for her unparalleled beauty.

• Mirisawetiya Stupa - Mirisawetiya Stupa, situated in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, is a revered Buddhist site known for its historical significance and spiritual atmosphere. Built by King Dutugemunu in the 3rd century BC, it stands as a testament to Sri Lanka’s rich heritage. The stupa is believed to enshrine a relic of Lord Buddha, making it a focal point for pilgrims and devotees. Surrounded by tranquil settings, including a picturesque lotus pond, Mirisawetiya exudes a serene ambiance, inviting visitors to reflect and connect with the profound teachings of Buddhism. Its impressive structure and cultural importance make it a must-visit destination for those exploring Sri Lanka’s cultural treasures.
• Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi - The Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi is a sacred fig tree located in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, and is considered the oldest living human-planted tree in the world. It holds immense religious and cultural significance for Buddhists globally. Planted in 288 BCE, it is believed to have grown from a cutting of the Bodhi tree under which Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, attained enlightenment.

Devoted pilgrims from around the world visit the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi to pay homage, meditate, and offer prayers. The site is surrounded by serene gardens and ancient ruins, enhancing its mystique and spiritual ambiance. The tree is meticulously cared for, with rituals performed regularly to ensure its health and longevity.

For Buddhists, the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi represents a direct link to the Buddha’s enlightenment and serves as a focal point for devotion and introspection, making it an enduring symbol of peace and enlightenment.

• Ruwanwelisaya - With a circumference of 370 feet and a height of 180 feet, Ruwanwelisaya, the third largest stupa in Sri Lanka, is the centerpiece of the Maha Vihara, the first monastery of Sri Lanka. It is believed that a significant amount of Buddha’s relics are enshrined in this magnificent stupa, designed to replicate the shape of a water bubble. At the eastern entrance to the stupa stands a statue of King Dutugamunu. According to records by Fa Hsien, the Chinese Buddhist monk who visited Sri Lanka in the 5th century CE, the Maha Vihara monastery housed no fewer than 3000 Buddhist monks.
  Since the passing of King Dutugamunu, “The Hero of the Nation,” the great stupa has been renovated by a succession of Sinhalese kings until King Nissanka Malla (1187-1196 AC). By the 19th century, Anuradhapura, once the greatest monastic city in the world, also known as Anurogrammon by the Greek cartographer Claudius Ptolemy (90-168 AD), was deserted; Ruwanwelisaya was in ruins.
• Thuparama Vihara - Thuparama Dagoba, 20m in height and 60ft in diameter, is one of the smallest ancient stupas, built by King Devanampiya Tissa in the third century BC. It is believed to enshrine the collarbone relic of Buddha. By the seventh century, the stupa was renovated by King Aggabodhi the second.

The elegant monolithic pillars surrounding it once supported a circular roof, making the shrine a Vata Dage (Circular – Relic – house), a distinctively Sinhalese architectural feature.

The roof no longer exists. Originally constructed in the ancient architectural tradition of a “paddy – heap” shape, its current “bell” shape dates to a renovation in 1862.

To the southeast of Thuparama Dagoba are the ruins of a hospital, as evidenced by the presence of an intact medicinal trough, an oil bath carved into a slab of stone.

• Abhayagiri Dagaba - Abhayagiri Monastery, covering an area of 200 hectares, was founded by King Valagamba, also known as Vattagamini Abhaya (109 BC-89-77 BC), following his second ascent to the throne after defeating Dravidian invaders. The monastery was built on the site of a destroyed Jain hermitage, whose ascetic Giri had taunted King Valagamaba during his flight from Southern Indian invaders 14 years earlier. The monastery was donated to Buddhist monk Thera Mahatissa as a token of gratitude for the moral and material support extended to the king during his exile while building an army to reclaim his kingdom.

The main stupa at Abhayagiri Monastery, Abhayagiri Stupa, was built over a footprint of Buddha. The Bo tree at the monastery is an offshoot of the Sri Maha Bodhi tree, also located in Anuradhapura. Standing at 370 ft in height when first constructed, Abhayagiri Dagoba was the second tallest dagoba in Sri Lanka.

• Jethawanaramaya Stupa - The Jetavanarama Dagoba’s massive dome rises above the entire eastern part of Anuradhapura. Constructed in the 3rd century by Mahasena, it may have originally reached a height of 120m, but today stands at about 70m, similar to the Abhayagiri. When built, it was almost certainly the third-tallest monument in the world, surpassed only by the Egyptian pyramids.

Its vast, bulbous form is unplastered and is said to consist of more than 90 million bricks.
