Established during the 11th and 12th centuries AD, Polonnaruwa was the country’s 2nd capital and is seen as a popular stopover for those wanting to enjoy a cultural trip or two. From remnants of ancient temples and dagobas such as the Lankathilake Vihara to the beautifully adorned royal palace of King Parakramabahu, one certainly will be spoilt for choice.
