There is a large pagoda that constructed the 2nd Century B.C and that is restored in 1920 and this pagoda built by King Kawanthissa. This place is a large Buddhist Monastery in past, could be one of the central places of the eastern part. In northern entrance evidence of molded bricks, balustrades, moonstone and guard stones which are truly tremendous to observe and well carved and expressed the emotions of the statues. The western entrance of the Monastery found the preliminary stage of stone works and extremely stone joint method which can’t believe. Also, Southern entrance also found great archaeological facts like Balustrades with elephant motifs, guard’s stones, and door frame. In here found the ancient pond that used by the Buddhist Monks daily. The image house truly amazing with historical facts. Also, can found sculptured stone lotus in here. This is one of the very sacred places of Buddhist and Lord Buddha relics kept in the pagoda. Exist stone pillars present the ancient civilization and glorious history of ancient Ceylon.  There is a Bodigara (A placed to worship Sacred Boo Tree) it has been built by the stone.
