Lovamahapaya was an ancient building located between Ruvanveliseya and Sri Mahabodiya in the ancient city of Anuradhapura in Sri Lanka. It was built by King DevanampiyaThissa, the first Buddhist king of the country, in the 3rd century BCE.
The building was supported by 40 rows of stone pillars each containing 40 pillars, totaling 1600 pillars in all. Each level of the building was rumored to have 1,000 rooms. These early descriptions may be exaggerated, but Lovamahapaya would have been one of the most prominent buildings at the time it was constructed.
