12 世纪皇家首都的杂草丛生的废墟，有护城河城堡、宫殿地基、佛塔和修复的佛牙圣殿。

概述

Panduwasnuwara 是一个很少有人参观的考古遗址，保存着库鲁内格勒区西部短暂的中世纪首都的遗迹。稻田里遍布着护城河城堡的土方工程、皇宫的砖砌地基、寺院遗址、一座大佛塔和一座经过修复的圆形舍利屋。其安静、人烟稀少的遗址让那些对斯里兰卡古代历史感兴趣的游客远离了主要的文化三角遗址。

历史

Panduwasnuwara served as Parakramapura, the provincial capital of Dakkhinadesa, in the 12th century, and was the power base of the young Parakramabahu I before he unified the island and ruled from Polonnaruwa. For a period the sacred Tooth Relic was kept here. The site is sometimes also linked in legend to the ancient king Panduvasdeva, though the surviving ruins are medieval.
