Ruwanwelisaya Stupa

Description

Having heard about the prophesy that a century later a Great King will build a Grand Stupa, King Dewanampia Tissa buried a pillar in the destined place with engraved prophesy. A century later King Dutthagamani found the hidden pillar and took up the construction. Ruwanwelisaya is one of the world's tallest historical monuments, standing at 91 m and with a diameter 90m.
