Lovamahapaya | Brazen Palace

Lovamahapaya is another important historical place to add to your wish list in Anuradhapura. Situated in between Sri Maha Bodhiya and Ruwanweliseya in Anuradhapura, Lovamahapaya has built during the 2nd century BC by King Dutugemunu. It is believed that this building had consisted of nine floors, although it has gone to ruins due to invasions and natural causes. But, in the ancient time, this building had remained as the tallest building of the ancient world for over a millennium. Tales say that it had taken six years to construct this building. At present, you only see about 1600 stone pillars as the ruins of this amazing building.
