Located in the Cultural Triangle area of Sri Lanka, Anuradhapura contains some of the oldest buildings located in Sri Lanka --- some dating back over 2,000 years! 

At the time they were built, they were also some of the tallest buildings in the world!

It is amazing to see these cultural treasures which remain in excellent shape.  Be sure to plan a day to visit this incredible area and witness rememberances of Sri Lanka's fascinating history.

Just a short distance from Anuradhapura is Mihintale, home of several historic Buddhist structures.

It is well worth the short three wheel or bus ride from Anuradhapura to visit this beautiful area.  Be prepared to climb to the top of the hill to get beautiful views of the entire region, as well as see the incredible structures located on this historic Buddhist property.
