Culture and history<br />
Trek, climb or cycle in Anuradhapura and explore ancient<br />
Buddhist ruins, including Anuradhapura itself, Sri Lanka’s first<br />
civilisation. Yapahuwa was one of the medieval capitals of Sri<br />
Lanka when, in 1272, King Bhuvenakabahu transferred the<br />
capital from Polonnaruwa to Yapahuwa to stave off invasions<br />
from South India. The citadel of Yapahuwa lying midway<br />
between Kurunagala and Anuradhapura was built around<br />
a huge granite rock rising almost a 100 metres above the<br />
surrounding lowlands.<br />
