Abhayagiriya, located in Sri Lanka, is an ancient Buddhist monastic complex that dates back to the 2nd century BCE. Nestled in the heart of Anuradhapura, it was once a thriving center for learning and spirituality. The site features impressive ruins, including stupas, monasteries, and various structures that showcase the architectural brilliance of its time. Visitors often marvel at the massive stupa, which stands as a testament to the dedication of the monks who lived and studied there.
This used to be the tallest stupa in Sri Lanka however the top of the stupa broke off and as it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site they are not allowed to fix it
