Sri Lanka is a treasure trove of historical and cultural sites. Ancient cities like Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and Sigiriya, all UNESCO World Heritage sites, transport you back in time with their ancient ruins, temples, and royal palaces. The towering Sigiriya Rock Fortress, also known as Lion Rock, offers panoramic views and insights into the country’s early civilizations.
The island’s colonial history is also on display in places like Galle Fort, a testament to the Portuguese, Dutch, and British influences on the island. History lovers will be amazed by the blend of Buddhist, Hindu, and colonial architecture scattered across the country.
