ANURADHAPURA OR POLONNARUWA

Anuradhapura - Anuradhapura went on to become a Ceylonese political and religious capital (4th century BC) that flourished for 1,300 years. In its prime, Anuradhapura ranked alongside Nineveh and Babylon in its colossal proportions—its four walls, each 16 miles (26 km) long, enclosing an area of 256 square miles (663 km²)—in the number of its inhabitants, and the splendour of its shrines and public buildings.

Polonnaruwa - Polonnaruwa Sri Lanka's splendid medieval capital was established as the first city of the land in the 11th Century, A.D.

03rd & 04th  Days – KANDY
Kandy 116km; the citadel of the hills. Set like a jewel among green mountains chains, Kandy Lake and girdled by the Mahweli Ganga, Sri Lanka’s longest river, the capital of the Island’s last independent Kingdom has retained a distinctive identity and character. Kandy is the repository of Sri Lanka’s traditional art and crafts

Dalada Maligawa - Temple of the Tooth. The importance of Kandy is mainly due to being the home of the Dalada Maligawa, which houses the sacred tooth relic of the Buddha. The tooth relic itself is claimed to have come to Sri Lanka some 1600 years ago, when a certain princess from southern India brought it to Anuradhapura, which was then the most powerful kingdom in Sri Lanka. As king and kingdoms rose and fell, it finally ended up in around 1100AD
