Polonnaruwa has it all - wonderful monuments, religious icons et al. The old town piece is a wonderful example.

Impresionante conjunto de edificios sagrados.

This elevated terrace is known as Dalada Maluva (the Sacred Quadrangle) because the Temple of the Tooth was located here.

Ruined Buddhist Vihara

May 2018 • Family

It is structure which is in ruin, without a roof and is located among the collection of ruins in the Polonnaruwa Archaeological Area. The existing structures and sculptures are quiet artistic. The structure must have served as Buddhist Vihara in its glory days. Unmissable during a tour of the Polonnaruwa Heritage City.
