Polonnaruwa, the ancient royal city and second capital of Sri Lanka ..
For over 200 years, from 1016 to 1233, the heart of the ancient kingdom struck here. At the end of the 12th century, the city decayed. The royal city was for a long time overgrown by lush jungle and thus protected and only from 1890 began the restoration measures.
