• Jethawanaramaya Stupa - Located in the ancient city of Anuradhapura, the Abhayagiri Monastery is attributed to King Vattagamini Abaya, also known as King Walagamba (103 BCE, 89-77 BCE). Evidence suggests that a Jain temple existed on this site in the 5th century BCE during the reign of King Pandukabaya (437-367 BCE).
• Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi - The Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi is a historically significant sacred bo tree (Ficus religiosa) situated in the Mahamewuna Garden in the historic city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. It is believed to have grown from a cutting of the southern branch of the ancient sacred bo tree, Sri Maha Bodhi, which was destroyed during the era of Emperor Ashoka the Great, at Buddha Gaya in India, where Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) attained Enlightenment. The Buddhist nun Sangamitta Maha Theri, daughter of Indian Emperor Ashoka, brought the tree cutting to Sri Lanka in 288 BC during the reign of Sinhalese King Devanampiya Tissa. At over 2,300 years old, it is the oldest living human-planted tree in the world with a known planting date.
• Ruwanwelisaya - This Stupa, located in the Anuradhapura District in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka, is renowned for its architectural brilliance and holds sacred significance for Buddhists worldwide. It was constructed by the illustrious King Dutugemunu (164 BC – 140 BC), who became the ruler of all Sri Lanka after defeating the Chola King Elara in battle. The Mahathupa or Ruwanweliseya is known by several other names, including Maha Stupa / Mahathupa (the great Dagoba), Rathnamali Stupa / Rathnamali Dagaba, Suvarnamali Mahaceti (in Pali), and Swarnamali Stupa / Swarnamali Chaitya. It is the most revered among the ancient Stupas (Dagobas) of Sri Lanka. The name Mahaseya or Mahathupa (the Great Tope) was used during the Golden Age of Anuradhapura. Ruwanweliseya Stupa is one of the “Solosmasthana,” the 16 sacred religious sites in Sri Lanka, and the “Atamasthana.”
• Isurumuniya Temple - The Meghagiri Vihara, now commonly referred to as Isurumuniya Vihara or Isurumuniya, is located near Tissa Wewa in Anuradhapura. However, the original Isurumuni Vihara is situated a few hundred meters away and is now known as Vessagiri Vihara. When this viharaya was discovered, it was initially thought to be the Isurumuniya mentioned in ancient texts, despite the absence of inscriptions. Later, when archaeologists identified the real Isurumuni Viharaya a few hundred meters away (with inscriptions confirming its name), the name Isurumuniya had already been adopted, and the site was named Vessagiriya.
• Mirisawetiya Stupa - Over 2,100 years old, Mirisawetiya is one of the most ancient Dagabas in Sri Lanka. Built by the great King Dutugemunu, this magnificent structure is a must-see for any visitor to the sacred city of Anuradhapura. It is believed that King Dutugemunu made many wishes here that were fulfilled during his lifetime. King Dutugemunu constructed it as a Dagoba of the “Mahavihara” fraternity, but as monks began residing there, Mirisawetiya developed into a separate monastery.
