If you want to get to know the history of our country, it is best to visit Polonnaruwa.
The Polonnaruwa which became the second capital of the land of Sri Lanka is second only to the Anuradhapura kingdom. However, the kingdom of Anuradhapura has been preserved over 1000 years. The Kingdom of Polonnaruwa had to abandon it within three centuries due to a colossal invasion.
But for the first time, the kingdom of Polonnaruwa was a golden era because of King Parakramabahu I and his nephew Nissanka Malla. Even though our country was economically bankrupted due to Nissankamalla’s king, he valued a number of important works of his time to the country)
Like the huge irrigation systems, the Parakrama Samudraya such as the Big Tanks, the Gal Vihara and the gardens of the gardens, in the Polonnaruwa period, a number of world-renowned architects came into being in Sri Lanka. Also, Polonnaruwa invaded and sabotaged the construction of Brahmi built by the control of the Chola rulers, even in Polonnaruwa.
