In the eastern plains of Sri Lanka lies Polonnaruwa, an ancient city whispering tales of a bygone civilization. Its vast archaeological park boasts well-preserved remnants of palaces, stupas, and intricately-carved statues, all testament to its past glory as a medieval capital. Among towering trees, gigantic Buddha figures carved into granite rock emanate timeless serenity, their gazes seemingly absorbed in contemplation. Amid the ruins, life thrives: troops of monkeys scamper on age-old brickwork, and peacocks strut amongst the grasslands. Nearby, the serene waters of the Parakrama Samudra reflect the ancient cityscape. Polonnaruwa is a captivating chronicle of human ingenuity and resilience, bound by nature and time, perpetually unfolding under the tropical sun.
A range of thrilling experiences handpicked by our experts. Don’t see one that’s just right for you? No problem. Our local insiders will create precisely what you want.
The Ancient City of Polonnaruwa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a testament to Sri Lanka's rich history and architectural prowess. As the second oldest kingdom in the country, Polonnaruwa features impressive ruins of palaces, temples, and statues that date back to the 11th and 12th centuries. Key attractions include the Royal Palace, the Quadrangle, and the Gal Vihara, a rock temple with intricately carved Buddha statues.
The Polonnaruwa Vatadage is a stunning circular relic house, considered one of the finest examples of ancient Sri Lankan architecture. The structure features intricately carved stone pillars, guardstones, and moonstones, as well as four Buddha statues seated around a central stupa. The Vatadage offers a serene atmosphere for visitors to appreciate the artistry and skill of the ancient builders.
The Thivanka Image House, also known as the House of the Triple Bend, is a unique structure that showcases a fusion of architectural styles. The image house features a tall, slender brick tower and a colossal statue of a standing Buddha. The walls are adorned with exquisite frescoes that depict scenes from the life of Buddha and various Jataka tales.
Lankatilaka Temple is an ancient Gedige-style temple with a distinct architectural design. The temple, built on a massive rock outcrop, features high walls and an impressive façade adorned with intricate carvings. Inside, visitors can find a large, headless Buddha statue and beautiful frescoes that have withstood the test of time.
The Royal Palace of King Parakramabahu is a grand structure that once comprised seven stories and boasted over a thousand chambers. Though only a few walls remain standing today, visitors can still appreciate the scale and grandeur of the palace. The ruins provide a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of the ancient royalty and are a testament to the architectural ingenuity of the time.
Polonnaruwa's sprawling archaeological site is best explored by bicycle, allowing visitors to cover more ground and experience the area at a leisurely pace. Cycling through the well-preserved ruins offers an opportunity to appreciate the intricate details of the ancient structures and immerse oneself in the site's historical atmosphere. Bike rentals are readily available near the entrance, making it an accessible and enjoyable activity for all ages.
