Giant stupa with a gold pinnacle. This is the largest stupa in the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, and the fourth largest stupa in the country. Our guide told us that the exterior of the stupa was originally white but the British discovered the stupa and found it overgrown. The British restored it and to the current state now. To take a closer look one has to remove shoes and hat.
