  Anuradhapura is the best representation of the beginnings of pre-modern urbanization in Sri Lanka. The development of the initial settlement at the site of the city can be attributed to the second global cycle of historical evolution with the generalized diffusion of iron technology in the Old World through the first millennium  BCE , culminating in the emergence of many historical civilizations. The history of Anuradhapura then extends from its traditional founding in the recorded history in the fourth century  BCE  and its subsequent laying-out by  Devanampiya Tissa  (250–210  BCE ) to its abandonment by the last of the Anuradhapura kings at the end of the tenth century  CE , its brief reoccupation in the eleventh century and the restoration of some of its major monuments, in the third quarter of the twelfth century.
