YAPAHUWA ROCK FORTRESS HOLDS A KEY TO THE MAGIC AND MYSTERY OF SRI LANKA’S HISTORIC PAST The citadel Yapahuwa was one of the early capitals of medieval Sri Lanka. Lying midway between Kurunagala and Anuradhapura, it was built around a 100-metre-tall granite rock rising above the surrounding countryside. In 1272, an invasion by the Dravidians from South India forced King Bhuvenakabahu to move his capital from Polonnaruwa to Yapahuwa, taking the sacred Tooth Relic of the Buddha with him. Folklore says that the tooth was housed in Yapahuwa until the citadel was abandoned and converted to a monastery, where monks resided among the ancient ruins.
