The Palace of King Parakramabahu in Polonnaruwa is a stunning remnant of Sri Lanka's medieval grandeur. Once a magnificent seven-story structure, it served as the royal residence of King Parakramabahu I, who reigned during the 12th century. Though only the lower levels remain today, the ruins hint at its former splendor, with massive brick walls and intricately carved stone foundations. The palace complex includes numerous chambers and audience halls, showcasing advanced architectural techniques of the time. The walls, which are over a meter thick, display evidence of the once-elaborate plaster and decoration. Visitors can also see remnants of guardrooms and staircases that once led to the upper levels. Situated within the Royal Palace Group, the site is a key highlight of Polonnaruwa’s UNESCO World Heritage designation. It is a testament to the ingenuity and vision of one of Sri Lanka's most celebrated rulers, offering a fascinating glimpse into the island's rich history.

Me and my spouse booked a last minute guide, 30 min before arriving to the Ancient City of Poloonaruwa. We matched with Tharindu and we spent literaly the rest of the day with him. He speaks good english, he has deep knowledge of the Sri Lanka’s history and is he’s answers regarding any topic go beyond the surface. He also suggested a restaurant for dinner and it was one of the best food experience we had in the island. Would recommne a lot, specially for people who are really intersted in Sri Lanka’s history.

We booked this tour last minute when we where driving to the ancient city of Polonnaruwa and it was the best decision we could make! Thari (I don't know if I'm spelling well) is passionate about the history and traditions of this city and of Sri Lanka. Even though it was raining, he gave us the most incredible experience - we almost felt how was living there in the past! He also gave us lots of tips about Sri Lanka and in the end of the tour he surprised us by taking us to a typical restaurant where we ate probably on of the best foods in Sri Lanka, cooked like ancient times. Thank you a lot for all. We would extremely recommend you embarking on this journey!
