UNESCO's World Heritage Site of Satmahal Prasada located at Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka.
It is thought that this building is a rare kind of architecture built by King Parakramabahu (1153-1186).
This pyramid shaped, seven storied building is thought to be an unusually shaped stupa.
It is said that similar architecture can be seen in Cambodia and in Siam.
It is thought this has been built for the Cambodian soldiers who were working under the king as place of worship.
The building has four entrances from four sides. Also there is stair case to reach the upper levels.
