Anuradhapura Ancient City & Sigiriya Rock Fortress

First we'll take you to the ancient royal city of Anuradhapura. Anuradhapura is famous for its temples, palace dagobas, well-preserved ruins and the sacred fig tree; Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi. Anuradhapura is still an active temple and place of worship. Both the local population and visitors from abroad come here every weekend to pray and make a special offerings with fruits and lotus flowers.
