Abhayagiriya, an immaculate gem that rises above antiquity (HD)

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Abhayagiriya, is the world's second largest brick monument. This world heritage monument that brings people together from across the globe is seeing the final touches of a mammoth conservation project. 15 years ago the Central Cultural Fund began its conservation project on the 370 ft. high Abhayagirya Sthupaya. In this documentary video produced by CCF TV you will not only witness CCF's conservation, but will also be able to hear those involved in it and appreciate the Abhayagiriya and its surrounding area from its peak first hand.

Located in the Northern part of the island, Anuradhapura, the Abhayagiriya Monastic Complex was built by King Valagamba in the first century B.C.
