Hatadage

Erected by Nissanka Malla, the Hatadage monument is said to have been built in 60 (hata) hours. It's in poor condition today, but was originally a two-storey building (and may have once housed the Buddha tooth relic). Stand at the entrance and admire the symmetry of the pillars receding into the distance.
