Message from João Petersen

Mihintale Rock in Sri Lanka is believed to be the historic meeting place between Buddhist monk Mahinda and King Devanampiyatissa, marking the introduction of Buddhism to the island. The site is now a popular pilgrimage destination with various religious monuments and ancient structures scattered across the mountain peak. Visitors can explore the ruins of a hospital, monastery, and stupa, as well as enjoy stunning views from the top after climbing the 1840 granite steps. It's a must-visit spot for history buffs and spiritual seekers alike.
