• Mihintale - Mihintale Mountain became a residential area for revered monks, led by Arahath Mahinda Mahathera, with the advent of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. With royal support, the sanctuary soon featured numerous monastic buildings such as stupas, uposathgharas, and bodhigharas for the monks. Sixty-eight cave dwellings provided shade and shelter for the monks. Mihintale served as a sanctuary for thousands of laypeople and holy men, offering all necessary facilities and amenities for basic living.
• Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi - The Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, is the oldest living tree documented in world history. It is a sapling from the historic Bodhi tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment. Planted in 288 BCF, it is the oldest living human-planted tree with a known planting date. It was brought from Buddhagaya, India, by Ven. Sanghamitta Therini, sister of Arhant Mahinda, who introduced Buddha’s teachings to Sri Lanka.
• Isurumuniya Temple - This delightful rock temple, dating back to the reign of Devanampiya Tissa (307–267 BC), is set around a beautiful lotus pond, with a corner carved with images of elephants playfully splashing water. The central temple features particularly fine mural paintings. Climb around the back to the rock summit to see the bell-shaped stupa and a pair of Buddha footprints etched into the rock.
• Jethawanaramaya Stupa - Jethawana Stupa is the largest stupa in Sri Lanka. Originally 400 feet (122 meters) tall, it was the third tallest building in the world at that time. Even today, as a brick monument, Jethawanaramaya remains the tallest of its kind in the world.
• Ruwanwelisaya - As the oldest stupa in Sri Lanka, Ruwanwelisaya is considered an icon of architectural glory in ancient Sri Lanka. Rising majestically in Anuradhapura, Ruwanwelisaya is a top sacred site for Buddhists. It stands as a testament to the unparalleled efforts to revive Buddhism in the country. Located a short walk from the Maha Bodhi tree in Anuradhapura, the stupa is one of the eight venerated places believed to have been visited by Buddha during his three visits to Sri Lanka.
• Negombo - Negombo is often where tourists spend their first day or two in Sri Lanka, recovering from a long and tiring flight before exploring the country. Negombo is filled with churches, as locals were readily converted to Catholicism by Europeans, earning it the nickname ‘Little Rome’. Most hotels and guesthouses are located on the main road that runs north from the town center, parallel to the beach.
• Anuradhapura - Anuradhapura, a Ceylonese political and religious capital that thrived for centuries, was abandoned after an invasion in 993. Hidden away in dense jungle for many years, this magnificent site, with its palaces, monasteries, and monuments, is now accessible once again.
