Although Sri Lanka is a small country in extent, it inherits a long history more that 2500 years. Anuradhapura is the first capital of Sri Lanka where a lot of ancient ruins can be seen. Ruins of very ancient buildings, places, pagodas and tanks bear evidence to a prosperous era of our country. When we visit the ancient city of Anuradhapura we can really be proud of our forefathers and their skills and craftsmanship.
Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya, Dambadeniya, Dambulla are some of the other historical places in the country. Aukana and Vijithapura are two other important places in the history of Sri Lanka. Vijithapura is believed to be the place where the king Dutugemunu fought with King Elara. The Buddha statue at Aukana marvels people at its unique quality.
However, there are many historical places in our country. As real citizens we all must be proud of our history and our great ancestors. Further, we all must try to protect these historical monuments for our younger generation.
