::Lovamahapaya is a building situated between Ruwanweliseya and Sri Mahabodiya in the ancient city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. It is also known as the Brazen Palace or Lohaprasadaya because the roof was covered with bronze tiles. In ancient times, the building included the refectory and the uposathagara (Uposatha house). There was also a Simamalake where the Sangha assembled on Poya days to recite the sutra of the confessional. The famous Lohaprasada built by King Dutugemunu, described as an edifice of nine stories, was a building of this class. One side of the building was 400 ft (120 m) in length. There are 40 rows, each row consisting of 40 stone pillars, for a total of 1600 pillars. It is believed that it took six years for the construction of the building and the plan was brought from the heavens. The building was completely destroyed during the reign of King Saddhatissa. Whilst the Jetavanaramaya, Abhayagiriya and Ruwanwelisaya were taller structures, the Lovamahapaya remained the tallest building of the island for over a millennium between 155BC and 993AD. The small building displayed now is a recent construction and is the Venue of Uposatha (chapter house) of the Maha Vihara even now.

::These ruins are believed to be the living quarters of Buddhist monks during Anuradhapura Era. Folklore is that it has been a multi-storied building. What remains is a large number of stone pillars. No doubt that it would have been an engineering marvel but I cannot stop questioning how it could have been living quarters because pillars are so closely placed leaving very little room to make is as a room (or a cell). The other question is that there is no evidence of any holes/ grooves to fix any wooden or stone floor above the remaining stone pillars to support the multi-story theory.

::A place where an ancient seven storied structure has been built centuries ago. A fascinating work of architecture at that time. Currently only the stons pillers which held the structure are in place. A two storied model in the same architecture is rebuild at the very middle to give a glimpse of the magnificence it had back then.
