Mihintale is a rocky hill where the first Buddhist monastery in Sri Lanka is located and is also considered the world's first sanctuary. Arahath Mahinda Maha Thero converted king Devanampiyatissa to a Buddhist at this historical site in the 3rd century B.C. This led Buddhism to be the official religion of the state, thus making Mihintale the cradle of Sinhala Buddhist Civilization.
