Polonnaruwa kuningriik

Polonnaruwa, mida nimetatakse ka Pulathisipura-ks ja mis oli iidsetel aegadel tuntud kui Vijayarajapura, on Polonnaruwa ringkonna peamine linn Põhja-Keskprovintsis, Sri Lankal. Kaasaegset Polonnaruwa linna tuntakse ka kui Uut Linna, samas kui teine osa Polonnaruwast jääb kuningriigi Polonnaruwa kuninglikuks iidseks linnaks.

Teine vanim kõigist Sri Lanka kuningriikidest, Polonnaruwa, loodi esmakordselt singaleesi kuningriigi poolt kui sõjaväepost. Selle nimetasid Chola dünastia liikmed ümber Jananathamangalamiks pärast nende edukat sissetungi tollasesse pealinna Anuradhapurasse 10. sajandil. Iidne Polonnaruwa linn on kuulutatud UNESCO maailmapärandi paigaks.

Polonnaruwa Vana Linn
Polonnaruwa Vana Linn on koht, kus asuvad hästi säilinud Polonnaruwa iidse linna varemed, mis on maailmapärandi paik. Varemed on koondunud ulatuslikule alale, mis ulatub umbes 4 km põhjast lõunasse. Paljude varemete hulgas on kindlus, Kvadrangkel, Gal Vihara (singali keeles: kivitempel) ja Lankatilaka, Gal Potha (singali keeles: kiviraamat), Menik ja Rankoth vihara budistlikud pühamud, Alahena Pirivena klooster, Lankatilaka (singali keeles: Lanka ehe), Kiri Vehera stuupa, Tivanka-patamaghara pildimaja (budistlik pühamu) – kõik need on kohad, mida tasub külastada.
Lääne pool iidset linna asub Parakrama Samudra (singali keeles: Parakramabahu meri) – 13. sajandil ehitatud ja 1950. aastatel taastatud tehislinnajärv.

Polonnaruwa Muuseum
Polonnaruwa Muuseum on ideaalne alguspunkt iidse Polonnaruwa linna külastamiseks: muuseumi muljetavaldav väljapanek annab hulgaliselt teadmisi, mis aitavad mõista arvukaid varemeid – säilinud, taastatud ja rekonstrueeritud – ning taastatud niisutusvõrku, mis koosneb tehiskraaniveehoidlatest ja kanalitest, mis jaotavad vett Polonnaruwa põllumajanduspiirkonda.
