ISURUMUNIYA TEMPLE
Like I said before Anuradhapura is the temple town in Sri
Lanka. I have already visited as well as worshipped some significant temples
and stupas. And my next stop was Isurumuniya Temple. Isurumuniya also has been considering as one
of significant temples in Anuradhapura. This temple is located near to the
Thissa tank. The temple was built based on a kind of big rock. The stone
carvings of the Isurumuniya temple are more famous than the religious importance
of the place. There are three main stone carving in the premises. They are
Isurumuniya lovers, Elephant Pond and the Royal family. The stone sculptures
are very attractive. The place was not so crowded but has a decent crowd. The
wind which are coming over the Thissa tank cool this place nicely.

ARCHAEOLOGICA MUSEUM
Visiting a museum is a best way to discover the pride history of a nation. Here the total Anuradhapura is a kind of museum. Ancient ruins are spreading all over the old kingdom. And the museum has more to watch. In the Anuradhapura Museum I watch some brilliant piece of sculptures and some tools which were built during the ancient civilizations. Not only that, but there are also some ancient gold coins. My favorite was there some demo structures of the famous stupas in the city. And by visiting this place you can have a deep knowledge on the glorious history of an old kingdom. It will not a perfect tour till you visit this museum and watch the fantastic archeological things.
