Polonnaruwa became the second capital of what we now know as Sri Lanka after the Cholas had plundered the former capital of Anuradhapura and took hold in Polonnaruwa. Turbulent times followed until King Parakramabahu conquered the city, as well as the rest of the island. He ordered many buildings to be constructed in his new capital and when you’re visiting the archeological site now, you can still witness palace buildings, dagobas, temples and other historical architecture.
