Polonnaruwa - A World Heritage
- Ancient Polonnaruwa and its environs (The city of Polonnaruwa like any other ancient South Asian city, consisted of a citadel within which the royal precinct was located, a defense wall system and moats, monastic and devale complexes which were the ritual centres and a well laid out market complex. In the periphery of the city were centres of craft production and beyond them the agricultural hinterland.)
- Polonnaruwa - The glory of mediaeval Sri Lanka (Encircled by three-foot thick fortifications, the impressive 12th century Royal Citadel housed the palace and the administrative buildings of King Prakramabahu. It was once 7 stories high and contained a thousand chambers.)
- Galvihara - a unique display of rock art ( What is generally regarded as some of the finest collections of Buddhist sculpture can be seen at Galvihara (Rock Monastery) in Polonnaruwa)
