The Polonnaruwa Quadrangle

The Polonnaruwa quadrangle is an ancient archeological site

located to the north of the Parakramabahu palace complex. It
contains many historical monuments which display the
grandeur and skill of the architecture of the Polonnaruwa
period. These are the Thuparama image house, Vatadage
Stupa shrine, Atadage and Hatadage (shrines of the Tooth
and Bowl Relics), Nissanka Latha Mandapaya, Galpotha
(Stone Book) and the Sathmahal Prasadaya Stupa.

The Polonnaruwa quadrangle is located on high ground, and

must be entered through a series of steps through the two
entrances at the west and the east.
