POLONNARUWA

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 13 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
POLONNARUWA , a ruined
city
  and
ancient
 
capital
  of
Ceylon
 . It first became a royal residence in A.D. 368, when the lake of Topawewa was formed, and succeeded Anuradhapura as the
capital
  in the
middle
  of the 8th
century
 . The
principal
  ruins date chiefly from the
time
  of Prakrama Bahu (A.D. 1153-1186). The most imposing
pile
  remaining is the Jetawanarama temple, a building 170 it. in length, with walls about 8o ft. high and 12 ft. thick. The
city
  is now entirely deserted, and, as in the
case
  of Anuradhapura, its ruins have only recently been rescued from the jungle.
