POLONNARUWA
Deeply rooted in history beyond myth and legend, boasting of its exquisite past with
its collection of palaces, bathing pools and stupas; Polonnaruwa was the island’s
medieval capital between the 11th and 13th century.
The second most ancient of Sri Lanka’s kingdoms, Polonnaruwa was first declared
the capital city by King Vijayabahu I in 1070.
